I am trying to execute chrome as
chrome.exe --overscroll-history-navigation=0 --disable-pinch
with the --disable-pinch --overscroll-history-navigation=0 flags in command line but it does not work at all.
I am using Chrome Versión 73.0.3683.75. It does not forbid the overscroll gestures.... I am about to go crazy....:|, it worked perfectly but stopped working at some point last week.
Any help is sooo welcome. Thanks!
I have also been battling this one but have finally found the solution that works for me. It seems that since a couple of chrome versions back the overscroll-history-navigation flag has been removed from the command line options. However, you can still access it from the chrome flags page by visiting this url in chrome:
chrome://flags/#overscroll-history-navigation
and manually disable it there.
Unfortunately this didn't solve it for me as I am also running the --kiosk mode switch for a touchscreen kiosk application developed in HTML and I cant expect every user to go to the flags page to disable this.
What did work was to add the css overscroll-behavior tag to both the html and body tags in the css for the application:
html,body {overscroll-behavior: none;}
Problem solved! No annoying swiping navigation on chrome. Not sure why if the --kiosk switch is enabled this sort of behaviour isn't automatically switched off?
Anyhow, hope this helps you too.
