Command-line Flags
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
Chromium has an extensive set of command-line flags that change rapidly, so
|
||
|
|
it's not really practical to include documentation in the package. This page
|
||
|
|
is kept relatively up to date with that information:
|
||
|
|
|
||

|

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Omnibox Search
|
||
|
|
==============
|
||
|
|
The omnibox search feature, which sends information entered into the url
|
||
|
|
entry bar to a selected search provider, can be disabled by setting
|
||
|
|
"disabled" "disabled" "http://%s" as the three fields and then selecting
|
||
|
|
"Make default" in the Default search settings dialog:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
chrome://settings/searchEngines
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Built-in Extensions
|
||
|
|
===================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The debian package disables most built-in upstream extensions by default
|
||
|
|
since users have stated concern about enabled features that they have not
|
||
|
|
specifically requested. This includes things like Google Hangouts, etc.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are two exceptions, the pdfium extension for viewing pdf files
|
||
|
|
directly in the browser and the two-factor authentication extension.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you would like to use one of the upstream built-ins that are currently
|
||
|
|
disabled, please edit debian/rules to enable it and rebuild the package
|
||
|
|
from source. See debian bug #886358 for more information.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Widevine Extension
|
||
|
|
==================
|
||
|
|
Widevine is a non-free library that cannot be distributed directly by Debian.
|
||
|
|
If you would like chromium to use it, you need to obtain it from google first
|
||
|
|
and install it to one of these locations ~/.config/chromium/WidevineCdm/ or
|
||
|
|
/usr/lib/chromium/WidevineCdm/.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Debugging
|
||
|
|
=========
|
||
|
|
To produce meaningful debugging information, please install the chromium-dbgsym
|
||
|
|
package and launch chromium with the "-g" flag.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$ chromium -g
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you try to install chromium-dbgsym and it fails, you may not have Debian's
|
||
|
|
dbgsym package repository configured and enabled. To set this up, first as
|
||
|
|
root add one or more of the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
|
||
|
|
(select the one appropriate to the Debian release you are using):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug stable-debug main
|
||
|
|
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug testing-debug main
|
||
|
|
deb http://debug.mirrors.debian.org/debian-debug unstable-debug main
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then execute these commands (also as root):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# apt update
|
||
|
|
# apt install chromium-dbgsym
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Information about installing dbgsym packages can be found on the Debian wiki:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
http://wiki.debian.org/AutomaticDebugPackages
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Additional information about debugging chromium can also be found on the Debian
|
||
|
|
wiki, but it is often out of date:

||

Running as Root
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
First of all, this is a very bad idea for a large number of reasons, so please
|
||
|
|
do not do this unless you really know what you are doing. However, if you want
|
||
|
|
to accept the risks, you can use the --no-sandbox command line argument to be
|
||
|
|
able to run chromium as root:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# chromium --no-sandbox
|
