NAME
       chromium	- the web browser from Google

SYNOPSIS
       chromium	[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	 Web  Browser  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 $HOME/.config/chromium .	 Separate instances of
	      Chromium Web Browser must	use separate  user  data  directories;
	      repeated	invocations of chromium	will reuse an existing process
	      for a given user data directory.

       --incognito
	      Open in incognito	mode.

       --new-window
	      If PATH or URL is	given, open it in a new	window.

       --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 us-
	      ing 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  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.

       --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 Web Browser 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	Web Browser 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  ac-
	      tual  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
       $HOME/.config/chromium
	      Default directory	for configuration data.

       $HOME/.cache/chromium
	      Default  directory  for  cache  data.   (Why?  See <http://stan-
	      dards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/> .)

BUGS
       Bug tracker:

	      http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

       Be sure to do your search within	"All Issues"  before  reporting	 bugs,
       and  be	sure  to pick the "Defect on Linux" template when filing a new
       one.
