Disabling enable-offline-previews flag does not completely stop offline previews from being presented

Project Member Reported by dougarnett@chromium.org, Jul 28 2017

Issue description

On local build, I Disable the enable-offine-previews flag from chrome://flags and reload the browser (so that I can test other types of previews behavior). Unfortunately, I will still get Offline previews presented. So then I end up going to offline-internals page and deleting all offline pages to get them out of the way.

I can try to capture repro steps if needed.

Hey, Doug,

Repro steps would definitely be helpful. I presume you are on a flaky network and not completely offline for this thing. Also I am not entirely sure this is a Offline pages problem. Ryan implemented previews IIRC.

This might be a bug in the flag itself on about:flags. If you set the Client-side is field trial to Disabled does that fix it?

Yeah, looks like || on being enabled here (happy to accept either flag or field trial): https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/components/previews/core/previews_experiments.cc?rcl=1746c9497c592b97b38baf217282364be1f8e9fd&l=149
so flag does not act as a kill switch (which is what I expected).
From IM chat with Ryan, perhaps an appropriate fix is to have the field trial set the Feature and then just checking the Feature value (which may be set by either field trial or flag and then could kill disabled by flag).
