NAME

       chromium-browser - the web browser from Google

SYNOPSIS

       chromium-browser [OPTION] [PATH|URL]

DESCRIPTION

       See the Google Chrome help center for help on using the browser.

              <https://support.google.com/chrome/>

       This manpage 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
              $HOME/.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.

       --new-window
              If PATH or URL is given, open it in a new window.

       --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="socks4://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

       $HOME/.config/chromium
              Default directory for configuration data.

       $HOME/.cache/chromium
              Default  directory  for  cache  data.    (Why?    See   <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-
              spec/latest/> .)
