chromium-browser - Online in the Cloud

PROGRAM:

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
~/.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="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.
