Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_12_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Look for a way to disable the use of HTTP proxies at all times; 2. Find references to the "--no-proxy-server" command line option; 3. Look for a way to set it permanently from within Chrome; 4. Discover that there is none. What is the expected behavior? What went wrong? Currently, the only way (I know of) of preventing Chrome from using a proxy is by starting it with the "--no-proxy-server" command line option. This is useful in some situations (eg. VPN software that installs ".pac" configurations on connect) where the user wants to avoid using (an otherwise optional) proxy for whatever reason, but becomes bothersome really fast to always have to start the browser from the terminal. It would be useful to be able to activate this option permanently, either via some setting or some "chrome://flags" option. Did this work before?

There are a number of ways of accomplishing this today: - command line flag - chrome extension - system proxy settings - chrome policy

Going through those in order: - command line flag: must remember to always start chrome from the command line; - chrome extension: prefer to not install any extensions, if possible; - system proxy settings: does not work when these are modified externally; - chrome policy: not sure how to do this in a non-corporate setting.

> - chrome policy: not sure how to do this in a non-corporate setting Not sure on exact steps for macOS, but I believe there is some .plist file you write to to set ProxyMode (https://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#ProxyMode) |
