It might make sense to change the prefs.js implementation for Chrome to use the storage API in general. We cache prefs anyway so we should be able to deal with asynchronous APIs here. Note that we would need to change required Chrome version to at least 20 - given that Yandex Browser is based on current Chrome versions now this seems fine however.

Hello,
Is this still on the docket to be changed/fixed? The ability to turn off the first run page would be greatly beneficial in large corporate environments. Thanks for all of your hard work!

Hi,
yes, this is planned to get done within other improvements for a large scale deployment, see #542. Until this is done, you can find some support at https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=21

Replying to trev:

I like the idea, since this is how Chrome extensions are supposed to store persistent properties nowadays. But on the other hand, on Safari we anyway have to store these data in a different way. So this might just over-complicate things.
We cache prefs anyway so we should be able to deal with asynchronous APIs here.
We still won't have access to the prefs during extension startup. But we have to deal with that anyway, also if only using the Managed Storage API for the pre-configured settings.
Note that we would need to change required Chrome version to at least 20 - given that Yandex Browser is based on current Chrome versions now this seems fine however.
We require Chrome 28+ meanwhile. So this wouldn't be an issue anymore.

Replying to fhd:
It would be nice to have an extension option that disables the first run page, since extension options can be imported.
Some prior discussion on this: https://twitter.com/refLyeART/status/374543864918732800
That is not possible, neither can we read a local file as you(?) confirmed on Twitter. But fortunately the Managed Storage API were added meanwhile for this purpose, see #1488.
