Old versions were frequently used to bypass regional restrictions or "geo-blocked" websites through a simple, one-click built-in proxy.

Chedot.exe --disable-web-security --no-sandbox --disable-logging --flag-switches-begin --flag-switches-end

Today, running an old version of Chedot is strongly discouraged for any web activity involving sensitive data, logins, or financial transactions. It remains a niche example of a regional Chromium fork that failed to sustain security lifecycle management. Some archived versions are studied in cybersecurity training to illustrate the dangers of abandoned browsers.
