How can I launch Chrome with flags from command line more concisely?

Question

I am developing a WebGL driven application and I want to launch chrome like this from the command line:

open -a Google\\ Chrome --args --disable-web-security
         


        

Answer 1

Why not just run a webserver? Open a terminal and type

cd folder_with_html_and_assets
python -m SimpleHTTPServer

Now in your browser to go http://localhost:8000 When your done go to the terminal and press Ctrl-C

That seems much better than disabling your security and risking getting pwnd.
