The internet seems to be in mass agreement that google chrome helper can be disabled by going to /settings/content settings/plugins, then selecting the "Click to play" option. These helpers are eating up my available memory, and severely limiting what hardware I can run these tests on. No guarantee, however, as I haven't had this issue personally and can't test the solutions.I'm running 10 chromedriver browsers on a mac, each using 1 tab, but which somehow have spawned 98 Google Chrome Helpers. force -deep -sign - out/Default/Chromium.app Looks like we can use below two commands instead of sudo.Ĭlears extended file attributes of app bundle and its internal filesĪpply ad-hoc signing to all files and folders in app bundle. You'd be replacing the code signature with this one so be careful!
Sudo codesign -force -deep -sign - /Applications/Chromium.app It also points to an issue on ungoogled-chromium-macOS GitHub repository titled Incoming network connections firewall permission prompts on every launch #17 with two other suggested workarounds: Provides updated Chromium builds posted this fix: I had the same issue with Chromium, and a member of a site that This thread on MacRumors is asking almost the same question: Keep being asked if I want to allow incoming connections on google chrome helper app with a possible solution at post #9. Yours does not seem to be an isolated issue. I am using these general MacOS Firewall settings: Is accepting incoming connections necessary for basic functionality like Chrome Update checks? Of course, I'm also considering that these prompts appeared because I visited the Chrome flags settings page – maybe that automatically happens because of some functionality therein? I have quite a lot of Chrome Extensions installed, so I'm concerned about security and don't want to accept incoming connections unless they are core to Chrome's functionality. I am wondering why Chrome asks for these permissions. Then when visiting chrome://flags#hardware-media-key-handling in Google Chrome flag settings, changing the setting, and relaunching Chrome, I received the below MacOS Firewall prompts:ĭo you want the application "Google Chrome.app" to accept incoming network connections?ĭo you want the application "Google Chrome Helper.app" to accept incoming network connections? Earlier today, I decided to review my MacOS Catalina Firewall settings by deleting my previous application-specific settings, and handle future prompts one at a time.
