[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 58943, post: 686219"] I use command line switches, not flags. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-background-networking --disable-component-extensions-with-background-pages --dns-prefetch-disable --no-pings --disable-logging QUIC is UDP over 80/443 which bypasses many security protocols and content filtration. As such, BY DEFAULT most quality UTM/NGFW/FW block QUIC by default. Many proxy firewalls watch for TCP 80/443 so security can be compromised/bypassed with QUIC in some cases. Always best to disable it IMO or block it from your UTM appliance if you can. Similar to how you should disable IPv6 over IPv4 protocols (Teredo, etc), there are security risks to these. [/QUOTE]
