If you only wan't to disable XSS you should use --disable-xss-auditor. A complete argument would be something like:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-xss-auditor

Make sure all chrome.exe processes are killed before running the command or it will have no effect. You can also pass more arguments if you wish, for example I often use a proxy argument because I don't want to enable a proxy for my entire system.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --disable-xss-auditor --proxy-server=127.0.0.1:8080
