You point Chrome at your RAM disk via a command line. Dataram’s RAMDisk (free/commercial site).SoftPerfect RAM Disk (free/donationware site).Numerous free and commercial RAM disks are available. If those two approaches are unacceptable, a more advanced workaround is to set up a small RAM disk - a hard drive emulated in RAM - and redirect Chrome’s disk-writing activity to the RAM disk. You’ll have to choose your own comfort level of system performance vs.
