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.

              

       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  rela‐
       tively 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 invo‐
              cations 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.


       --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:

                [://][:]

              Where  is the protocol of the proxy server, and is
              one of:

                "http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".

              If  the    is omitted, it defaults to "http". Also
              note that "socks" is equivlent to "socks4".

              Examples:

                --proxy-server="foopy:99"
                    Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.

                --proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
                    Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.

                --proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
                    Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.

              It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for  dif‐
              ferent 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 vari‐
              ables 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.


       --version
              Show version information.


       As a GTK+ app, Chromium also obeys GTK+  command-line  flags,  such  as
       --display.  See the GTK documentation for more:

              
              


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_VER‐
              SION=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               dards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/> .)
