[SOLVED] start chromium in anonymous mode

whitethorn · 2010-11-27 15:02:16

Hi,

Is there a way of starting chromium from a terminal or with some sort of flag to start anonymous mode. I don't want to always open the normal chromium and then open the anonymous.

Greetings

chromium actually has a man page. it's right near the top.

Thanx, worked like a charm.

I couldn't find anything in the man pages or with chromium --help.

OPTIONS
       Chromium has hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are added and removed at the whim of the develop‐
       ers.  Here, we document relatively 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.
....

not meaning to post in a solved thread but my man pages for chromium dont show that, it goes from --app=URL to --proxy-server=host:post
