Situation Description

To create a more convenient, understandable, and easily manageable tool for controlling device behavior, the SmartPlayer team has added the ability to set "flags" that control device behavior during operation. This functionality is designed to help enhance, simplify, and diversify the user’s options for managing device behavior.

Procedure

To select one of the available flags, the user first needs to log in to their account and locate the "Devices" section.

Next, they need to locate their Windows/Linux device and select it by clicking on it.

The following step is to switch to the toolbar on the right and select the "Settings" option.

In the settings, the user needs to locate the "Browser" category and click on it.

After opening the "Browser" page, the user will see the available list of flags.

Available Flags

The "Flags" page includes the following list of names:

• Flag --ignore-gpu-blacklist - In Chromium-based browsers, particularly Google Chrome, this flag is used to ignore the GPU blacklist.

In browsers, there is a GPU blacklist that identifies GPUs incompatible or problematic for hardware acceleration. This blacklist prevents crashes and performance issues.

When the user launches Chromium with the --ignore-gpu-blacklist flag, the browser will use hardware acceleration even for GPUs on the blacklist. This can be useful if the user is confident that their GPU can handle hardware acceleration despite being blacklisted.

• Flag --enable-gpu-rasterization - In Chromium-based browsers, particularly Google Chrome, this flag enables rasterization using the GPU.

Rasterization is the process of converting vector graphics (such as HTML and CSS) into raster images that can be displayed on the screen.

By default, rasterization can be performed on either the CPU or GPU, depending on system capabilities and browser settings. Enabling GPU rasterization helps improve performance and reduce CPU load, especially when working with graphically intensive web pages.

• Flag --disable-web-security - In Chromium-based browsers, particularly Google Chrome, this flag disables web security policies, such as Same-Origin Policy.

Same-Origin Policy restricts interaction between scripts loaded from different sources to prevent cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks and other security threats.

When the user launches the browser with the --disable-web-security flag, these restrictions are lifted, allowing scripts to interact with resources from different sources without limitations.

• Flag --disable-features=AutoplayIgnoreWebAudio - In Chromium-based browsers, particularly Google Chrome, this flag disables the feature that allows ignoring autoplay audio in web applications that use the Web Audio API.

By default, browsers may block automatic audio playback to improve user experience and prevent unwanted noise.

When the user launches the browser with the --disable-features=AutoplayIgnoreWebAudio flag, it allows web applications using the Web Audio API to automatically play audio without user intervention.
