I believe this isn't expected to work - for instance, due to some protection against prefs tampering by malware. What is the use case you are trying to build?

Sorry, please disregard above - just realized that you meant the template file for the preferences, not the preferences file itself. ligimole@: Could we arrange testing whether this issue is reproducible on our side?

The attached master_preference file is not working.Tested with chrome 56, 57 and 58, able to launch chrome but none of the preferences mentioned in the file is not being applied. This looks almost similar to Issue 715052 . Looping to Gab for further inputs.

This isn't valid JSON (https://jsonlint.com/): Error: Parse error on line 6: ...t_browser": false, }},"session": { " ----------------------^ Expecting 'STRING', got '}'

Well I feel mighty stupid, just copied the config file from the chromium help and it worked with changes, and verifying the json |
