only describes invocation, environment, and arguments.
options
Chromium has
hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are added
and removed at the whim of the developers. Here, we document
relatively stable flags.
--user-data-dir=DIR
Specifies the directory that
user data (your "profile") is kept in. Defaults to
~/.config/chromium . Separate instances of Chromium
must use separate user data directories; repeated
invocations of chromium-browser will reuse an existing
process for a given user data directory.
--app=URL
Runs URL in "app
mode": with no browser toolbars.
--incognito
Open in incognito mode.
--proxy-server=host:port
Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5
proxy server to use for requests. This overrides any
environment variables or settings picked via the options
dialog. An individual proxy server is specified using the
format:
[<proxy-scheme>://]<proxy-host>[:<proxy-port>]
Where
<proxy-scheme> is the protocol of the proxy server,
and is one of:
"http",
"socks", "socks4",
"socks5".
If the
<proxy-scheme> is omitted, it defaults to
"http". Also note that "socks" is
equivalent to "socks5".
Examples:
--proxy-server="foopy:99"
Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all
URLs.
--proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all
URLs.
--proxy-server="sock4://foobar:1080"
Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all
URLs.
--proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all
URLs.
It is also
possible to specify a separate proxy server for different
URL types, by prefixing the proxy server specifier with a
URL specifier:
Example:
--proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"
Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy
"proxy1:80". And load http://*
URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".
--no-proxy-server
Disables the proxy server.
Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via
the options dialog.
--proxy-auto-detect
Autodetect proxy configuration.
Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via
the options dialog.
--proxy-pac-url=URL
Specify proxy autoconfiguration
URL. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked
via the options dialog.
--password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>
Set the password store to use.
The default is to automatically detect based on the desktop
environment. basic selects the built in, unencrypted
password store. gnome selects Gnome keyring.
kwallet selects (KDE) KWallet. (Note that KWallet may
not work reliably outside KDE.)
--version
Show version information.
As a GTK+ app,
Chromium also obeys GTK+ command-line flags, such as
--display. See the GTK documentation for
more:
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-running.html>
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-x11.html>
environment
Chromium obeys the following environment variables:
all_proxy
Shorthand for specifying all of http_proxy, https_proxy,
ftp_proxy
http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Note:
because Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these
variables in some terminals, this variable is ignored (in
preference for actual system proxy settings) when running under
Gnome or KDE. Use the command-line flags to set these when you
want to force their values.
auto_proxy
Specify proxy autoconfiguration. Defined and empty autodetects;
otherwise, it should be an autoconfig URL. But see above note
about Gnome/KDE.
SOCKS_SERVER
SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4, also set
SOCKS_VERSION=5 to use SOCKS v5).
no_proxy
Comma separated list of hosts or patterns to bypass proxying.
files
~/.config/chromium
Default directory for configuration data.
~/.cache/chromium
Default directory for cache data. (Why? See
<http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/> .)
