    Default --Save-Plugins and general switches

    Hello all. I am very impressed on the sandbox/dropped rights technique of chrome/iron.
    But a problem with the sandbox is its implementation to plugins such as flash player.
    Cause if a website exploits the flash player the sandbox will not work anymore.
    And normally the malicious website will exploit plugins and not the browser itself.
    So i came across the --save-plugins switch which is awesome if it ist working like it should be.
    My question is: Does this switch really put the flash player and every other plugin into the sandbox, means drops the rights of all plugins down?


    Second question: What other switches are available for Iron/Chrome?

    I am aware of:
    --enable-extensions
    --safe-plugins
    -disable-java
    -incognito

    On Windows you can use - -- or / to prefix a switch. It doesn't matter what you use. On Linux you can only use - or -- and I'm not sure about Mac.
    Finally, use a -- after all your switches to tell Chrome all switches have been passed, and that the next argument is a URL to open, if desired. (If you don't want to pass a URL, the final -- isn't necessary.)
    For example:
    Code:
    chrome.exe --disable-javascript /disable-images -incognito -- "http://somenaughtyasciisite.net"
