How to disable Chromium password manager.

Thu Mar 27, 2014 11:22 pm

I'm trying to use my PI as a desktop. I installed htop in order to see what's hogging my PC and I see a slew of '--password-store=detect' processes that chromium is running. Even when going to Wikipedia, more than 5 of these password storage processes lock up my PI for several seconds at a time which is very frustrating taking up, 90% of the CPU. I have a Model B and I haven't used up all the ram at anytime so it's the CPU. Is it possible to get rid of this process? I don't plan on saving passwords on Chromium.

Here's more on this process, couldn't figure out what to do with the info.

May I ask why you are using Chromium Browser, Debian & Arch LinuxArm no longer list the Browser as supported on the ARMv6 Architecture.

https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/chromium http://archlinuxarm.org/packages

If you are running Debian Wheezy then IceWeasel (Firefox) Browser may be a better choice !

If you are running ArchLinuxArm then Midori Browser may be a better choice !

There are a bunch of webpages giving instructions for how to disable Chrome's password manager. Just google the following:

chrome browser disable-password-manager

One of them is the following:

With regards to Midori, I found it a nightmare to use and a big problem because of it's Speed Dial feature (or whatever they call it). It is constantly polling the internet to check the sites it thinks you should be able to load instantly and, the last I checked, the feature cannot be turned off.

Other low profile GUI browsers to consider might be luakit and dwb.
