chromium:tldr:ade71
The given command is used to launch the Chromium browser with certain options enabled.
The chromium
part of the command is the executable name of the Chromium browser.
The --user-data-dir=${path-to-directory}
option is used to specify the directory where the user's profile data will be stored. By default, Chromium uses a default directory to store user data like bookmarks, history, cookies, etc. By providing a custom path to this option, you can separate the user data for different instances of Chromium.
The ${path-to-directory}
is a placeholder indicating that you need to replace it with the actual path to the directory on your system. For example, if you want to specify a directory named "my-profile" located in your home directory, you would replace ${path-to-directory}
with /home/your-username/my-profile
(replace your-username
with your actual username).
The --disable-web-security
option is used to disable the same-origin policy in Chromium. The same-origin policy is a security measure in web browsers that limits interactions between different websites to prevent cross-site scripting and other malicious attacks. By disabling web security, Chromium allows cross-origin requests, which can be useful for testing or development purposes when you need to access resources from different domains.
It's important to note that using the --disable-web-security
flag can expose your system to potential security risks. It is generally recommended to use it only for testing or development purposes and not during regular browsing sessions.
