New information dug up by a reddit user seems to indicate the stop Autoplay feature could be making a come back after all. Will the stop Autoplay feature be making a comeback in Google Chrome for Android?Īndroid mobile users used to have access to a stop Autoplay feature in the Google Chrome browser which was seemingly removed some time ago. In the command window, type (using example from above:
Next, open an elevated command prompt (right click the command prompt icon and choose "Run as Administrator"). And the User Data directory will be gone from the original location, because you have just moved it. So now in the new location you'll have a User Data directory, like so "d:\chrome\User Data". Move (not copy) the whole User Data directory to the new location. If installed using the defaults, this should be something similar to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data. Navigate to where Google Chrome is installed and locate the 'User Data' folder. Create a directory at some suitable location where you want the cache to go, for example, I use a folder called chrome on my second HD (d:\chrome). If any instance of Google Chrome is left running, it will prevent you from completing Step 3 You may also want to quickly run Task Manager to ensure ALL instances are closed. Close any instances of Google Chrome you may be running. Please note that this procedure will delete your exisiting profile, bookmarks, pinned tabs etc. Windows XP users will need to download the Junction utility from Microsoft to be able to do this, instructions on creating a symbolic link in Windows XP are on the download page for thus utility. This should also work on any other OS where you can create a symbolic link. This will work on Windows Vista and Windows 7 without any additional software. There are no other hacks required while using this method, and the process always works even if Chrome is started differently each time it was started. Doing it this way, Chrome still thinks it's storing files in the usual location, but that's actually just a symbolic link to another directory in a completely different location. The easiet and perhaps a better way to move the cache/profile directory used by Google Chrome to whatever location you want is to create a symbolic link in the original location that points to the new location.
