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.

FILES
       ~/.config/chromium
              Default directory for configuration data.

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