Chrome Flags Reference

Chrome command line switches and startup flags for automation, headless mode, and debugging.

--dom-automation

What does --dom-automation do?

Specifies if the |DOMAutomationController| needs to be bound in the renderer. This binding happens on per-frame basis and hence can potentially be a performance bottleneck. One should only enable it when automating dom based tests.
