OPTIONS

22       Chromium has hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are added
23       and removed at the whim of the developers.   Here,  we  document  rela‐
24       tively stable flags.
25
26       --user-data-dir=DIR
27              Specifies  the directory that user data (your "profile") is kept
28              in.   Defaults  to  $HOME/.config/chromium-browser  .   Separate
29              instances  of  Chromium must use separate user data directories;
30              repeated invocations of chromium-browser will reuse an  existing
31              process for a given user data directory.
32
33
34       --app=URL
35              Runs URL in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
36
37
38       --incognito
39              Open in incognito mode.
40
41
42       --new-window
43              If PATH or URL is given, open it in a new window.
44
45
46       --proxy-server=host:port
47              Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests.
48              This overrides any environment variables or settings picked  via
49              the  options  dialog.   An  individual proxy server is specified
50              using the format:
51
52                [<proxy-scheme>://]<proxy-host>[:<proxy-port>]
53
54              Where <proxy-scheme> is the protocol of the proxy server, and is
55              one of:
56
57                "http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".
58
59              If  the  <proxy-scheme>  is omitted, it defaults to "http". Also
60              note that "socks" is equivalent to "socks5".
61
62              Examples:
63
64                --proxy-server="foopy:99"
65                    Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.
66
67                --proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
68                    Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
69
70                --proxy-server="socks4://foobar:1080"
71                    Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
72
73                --proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
74                    Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.
75
76              It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for  dif‐
77              ferent URL types, by prefixing the proxy server specifier with a
78              URL specifier:
79
80              Example:
81
82                --proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"
83                    Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy "proxy1:80".  And
84              load http://*
85                    URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".
86
87
88       --no-proxy-server
89              Disables  the proxy server.  Overrides any environment variables
90              or settings picked via the options dialog.
91
92
93       --proxy-auto-detect
94              Autodetect proxy configuration.  Overrides any environment vari‐
95              ables or settings picked via the options dialog.
96
97
98       --proxy-pac-url=URL
99              Specify  proxy autoconfiguration URL.  Overrides any environment
100              variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
101
102
103       --password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>
104              Set the password store to use.  The default is to  automatically
105              detect  based  on  the  desktop  environment.  basic selects the
106              built in,  unencrypted  password  store.   gnome  selects  Gnome
107              keyring.  kwallet selects (KDE) KWallet.  (Note that KWallet may
108              not work reliably outside KDE.)
109
110
111       --version
112              Show version information.
113
114
115       As a GTK+ app, Chromium also obeys GTK+  command-line  flags,  such  as
116       --display.  See the GTK documentation for more:
117
118              <http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-running.html>

120
121

ENVIRONMENT

123       Chromium obeys the following environment variables:
124
125
126       all_proxy
127              Shorthand  for  specifying  all  of   http_proxy,   https_proxy,
128              ftp_proxy
129
130
131       http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
132              The  proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.  Note: because
133              Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these  variables  in
134              some  terminals,  this  variable  is  ignored (in preference for
135              actual system proxy settings) when running under Gnome  or  KDE.
136              Use  the  command-line flags to set these when you want to force
137              their values.
138
139
140       auto_proxy
141              Specify proxy autoconfiguration.  Defined and empty autodetects;
142              otherwise,  it  should be an autoconfig URL.  But see above note
143              about Gnome/KDE.
144
145
146       SOCKS_SERVER
147              SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4,  also  set  SOCKS_VER‐
148              SION=5 to use SOCKS v5).
149
150
151       no_proxy
152              Comma separated list of hosts or patterns to bypass proxying.
153
154

FILES

156       $HOME/.config/chromium-browser
157              Default directory for configuration data.
158
159
160       $HOME/.cache/chromium-browser
161              Default  directory  for  cache  data.   (Why?  See <http://stan
162              dards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/> .)
