Chromium is the open-source web browser project that forms the basis for Google Chrome. It provides a fast, secure browsing experience with support for modern web standards.
The browser supports hundreds of command-line flags for customization, debugging, and automation. Most flags are undocumented and experimental; the commonly used ones are relatively stable.
Configuration data is stored in ~/.config/chromium and cache in ~/.cache/chromium by default on Linux.

--user-data-dir=DIR

Use specified directory for user data (profile). Required for running multiple instances

Open in incognito (private browsing) mode

Open URLs in a new window

Run URL in application mode with minimal browser UI

Specify HTTP/SOCKS proxy server

Run without graphical user interface

Disable GPU hardware acceleration

Skip first-run welcome dialogs

Run in full-screen kiosk mode

Enable remote debugging on specified port

~/.config/chromium/

User profile directory containing preferences, bookmarks, extensions, cookies, and browsing history.

JSON file with browser settings. Can be edited directly but changes may be overwritten when the browser is running.

The --no-sandbox flag disables security sandboxing and should only be used when necessary (e.g., in containers). Most command-line flags are experimental and may change between versions.
Visit about:version in the browser to see which flags are currently active.

Chromium was first released by Google in September 2008 as the open-source foundation for Google Chrome. The project uses the Blink rendering engine (forked from WebKit in 2013) and the V8 JavaScript engine.
