Doing what you say only shows two buttons: "Re-apply settings" and "Clear bad proxies". In both versions. There is nothing to compare.
What I did instead was using the net-internals events viewer. The one which I started from command-line with a proxy shows the configured proxy. The one which should use the system proxy shows "proxy_server":"DIRECT" ** Attachment added: "Should use system proxy" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1825983/+attachment/5258448/+files/chrome-net-export-log-sysproxy.json -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1825983 Title: chromium-browser ignores system proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1825983/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
