Pass flag --process-per-site to Chromium

technolog · 2015-02-28 20:13:43

I want to pass this flag everytime I start Chromium.

chromium --process-per-site

I want this change to persist on package upgrade, which in turn overrides .desktop file. How to do that?

I am using Gnome Shell.

You could run it through a script.

#!/bin/bash
chromium --process-per-site

Say you call your script run_chrome. You then make it executable and instead of pointing your icon to the chrome executable you point it to run_chrome.
When you click the icon in the future you will run your script and you got what you wanted.

That's what I would do.

you could also add that option to CHROMIUM_FLAGS in /etc/chromium/default.

You can also drop a file in /etc/chromium that adds it to CHROMIUM_FLAGS. This now works in the latest Arch package.

Thanks, everyone!

I ended up solving this problem by making this file:

~ cat /etc/chromium/tab_policy 
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="$CHROMIUM_FLAGS --process-per-site"

If you did not want to create a file, you could have created an alias in your .bashrc or whatever your shell runs at start.

alias chromium="chromium --process-per-site"

rolbrok, that would do nothing for the OPs goal of launching chromium from a desktop file (launcher/menu entry).
