  I created a tiny docker image to solve this issue It's around 200k and very easy to configure https://hub.docker.com/r/massimo/cntlm/ https://hub.docker.com/r/massimo/cntlm/

  Actually, we just figured out how to do this. Details here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=741872#c36 https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=741872...
