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.

	      <http://www.google.com/support/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 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 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 reli-
	      ably 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 com-
	      mand-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/> .)
