In HTML Executable, choose Application Settings => Rendering Engine.
A lot of Chromium options can be configured there.
Lets you add some custom Chromium command-line arguments. For example, if you want to disable the GPU accelerated video display, add `--disable-accelerated-video`. To add multiple arguments, separate each two arguments by space.
The Chromium engine has a security feature that does not allow users to run any outdated plugins inside the web browser. You can disable it with this property. Please note that allowing the use of outdated plugins exposes your users to security vulnerabilities of those plugins.
Controls whether the application cache can be used.
Allows a compiled file within the eBook or application to be opened in its dedicated application when the associated link is visited by the end user. HTML Executable determines this behavior based on the file extension; if the file extension is included in the list for this property, then the file will be directly opened in its dedicated application.
Please note that this action temporarily extracts the file onto the user's hard drive, making it potentially vulnerable to unauthorized copying. Therefore, it is essential to consider the security aspects before using this property.
The list of extensions in the AutoOpenExtensions property should be separated by semicolons. For example, if you want to open .docx and .xlsx files in their dedicated applications, the property value should be set as .Docx;.xlsx.
Opaque background color used for the browser before a document is loaded and when no document color is specified.Only the RGB components of the specified value will be used. The alpha component must greater than 0 to enable use of the background color but will be otherwise ignored.
Controls whether the caret position will be drawn.
Indicates whether the custom error page defined in Dialog Boxes should be used to display missing pages (404 file not found). If True, a 200 OK status will be returned to the web browser. If False, a 404 error will be returned to the web browser and the standard 404 error page will be shown.
Lets you specify a custom User-Agent for the web browser.
Controls whether databases can be used.
Defines which locale (language) should be used by the Chromium engine (useful for localization of default buttons for instance). List of values are available in the `CEFRuntime\locales` subfolder of the HTML Executable's location.
For instance, to use the French locale, enter `fr`.
Indicates whether Chomium Developer Tools should be enabled or not. End users can access these tools with the context-menu of the internal browser.
Controls whether accelerated 2D canvas can be used.
Disables the status bar flicker (if the bar is hidden) related to JavaScript dialog box workaround.
Controls whether drag/drop of external resources is allowed or not.
Lets you disable the "Find Text" menu command.
Lets you disable the drag/drop feature for images. For instance, if the end user drags and drops an image onto Windows Explorer, the Chromium engine will save the image as a file into the folder. It's a possible leak for your compiled image files. So, to avoid this leak, activate this property.
Allows your application and Chromium engine to store cache and temporary files onto the end user's computer. By default, it will be a subfolder in the User Data directory as explained here.
Lets you disable the use of the Google Safe Browsing service in your application.
Lets you enable/disable the Do Not Track feature of the web browser.
Controls whether GPUplugins can be used. Should be left off!
Controls whether WebRTC is handled or not. Note that, for correct WebRTC support, use of the secure protocol https is recommended. Thus, do not enable the "Do not use secure HTTPS for internal protocol" option.
Controls whether speech input API can be used.
Controls whether file URLs will have access to all URLs.
Prevents downloads of internal resources (for instance, on default video player).
The Chromium engine allows end users to download a played video (or audio) resource using the context menu. If you cannot disable this menu from HTML, it is still possible to prevent the download of the audio or video file using this option.
For instance, if you enter `audio/mp3;audio/ogg`, HTML Executable will prevent .MP3 and .OGG files from being downloaded, but not played back by the video or audio player.
Allows images or not.
How images are resized.
Allows JS execution or not.
Customize JS permissions
Allow LocalStorage or not
Enable Chromium debugging log or not:
•Default logging (currently INFO logging) `LOGSEVERITY_DEFAULT`
•Verbose logging: `LOGSEVERITY_VERBOSE`
•INFO logging: `LOGSEVERITY_INFO`
•WARNING logging: `LOGSEVERITY_WARNING`,
•ERROR logging: `LOGSEVERITY_ERROR`,
•Disables logging completely: `LOGSEVERITY_DISABLE` (default in ExeOutput for PHP)
If enabled, the Chromium log file is then stored in the same folder as the application .EXE file and with the filename: `cefdebug.log`
Ensure that the folder is writable if you want the log to be available.
If you're experiencing problems displaying certain resources or need to refresh a page to display all the images, for example, you can try modifying the multi-threading mode used by HTML Executable to read files in the HTML rendering engine or even disable multithreading with this property. However, this can cause your ebook application to be less responsive.
If enabled, no audio will be played.
To allow session cookies (cookies without an expiry date or validity interval) to persist next time the application is run. Session cookies are generally intended to be transient and most Web browsers do not persist them.
Allows Plugins or not.
Should the web browser include the referrer into the HTTP headers.
Controls whether the tab key can advance focus to links.
Controls whether text areas can be resized.
Controls whether file URLs will have access to all URLs.
Allows Webgl or not.
Controls whether web security restrictions (same-origin policy) will be enforced. Disabling this setting is not recommend as it will allow risky/ security behavior such as cross-site scripting (XSS).
Ignored.
