NAME
       google-chrome - the web browser from Google


SYNOPSIS
       google-chrome [OPTION] [PATH|URL]


DESCRIPTION
       See the Google Chrome help center for help on using the browser.

	      <https://support.google.com/chrome/>

       This manpage only describes invocation, environment, and arguments.


OPTIONS
       Google Chrome has hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are
       added and removed at the whim of the developers.	 Here, we document
       relatively stable flags.

       --user-data-dir=DIR
	      Specifies the directory that user data (your "profile") is kept
	      in.  Defaults to $HOME/.config/google-chrome .  Separate
	      instances of Google Chrome must use separate user data
	      directories; repeated invocations of google-chrome will reuse an
	      existing process for a given user data directory.


       --incognito
	      Open in incognito mode.


       --new-window
	      If PATH or URL is given, open it in a new window.


       --proxy-server=host:port
	      Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests.
	      This overrides any environment variables or settings picked via
	      the options dialog.  An individual proxy server is specified
	      using the format:

		[<proxy-scheme>://]<proxy-host>[:<proxy-port>]

	      Where <proxy-scheme> is the protocol of the proxy server, and is
	      one of:

		"http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".

	      If the <proxy-scheme> is omitted, it defaults to "http". Also
	      note that "socks" is equivalent to "socks5".

	      Examples:

		--proxy-server="foopy:99"
		    Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.

		--proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
		    Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.

		--proxy-server="socks4://foobar:1080"
		    Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.

		--proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
		    Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.

	      It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for
	      different URL types, by prefixing the proxy server specifier
	      with a URL specifier:

	      Example:

		--proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"
		    Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy "proxy1:80". And
	      load http://*
		    URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".


       --no-proxy-server
	      Disables the proxy server.  Overrides any environment variables
	      or settings picked via the options dialog.


       --proxy-auto-detect
	      Autodetect proxy configuration.  Overrides any environment
	      variables or settings picked via the options dialog.


       --proxy-pac-url=URL
	      Specify proxy autoconfiguration URL.  Overrides any environment
	      variables or settings picked via the options dialog.


       --password-store=<basic|gnome|kwallet>
	      Set the password store to use.  The default is to automatically
	      detect based on the desktop environment.	basic selects the
	      built in, unencrypted password store.  gnome selects Gnome
	      keyring.	kwallet selects (KDE) KWallet.	(Note that KWallet may
	      not work reliably outside KDE.)


       --version
	      Show version information.


       As a GTK+ app, Google Chrome also obeys GTK+ command-line flags, such
       as --display.  See the GTK documentation for more:

	      <http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-running.html>

	      <http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/gtk-x11.html>


ENVIRONMENT
       Google Chrome obeys the following environment variables:


       all_proxy
	      Shorthand for specifying all of http_proxy, https_proxy,
	      ftp_proxy


       http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
	      The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.	Note: because
	      Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these variables in
	      some terminals, this variable is ignored (in preference for
	      actual system proxy settings) when running under Gnome or KDE.
	      Use the command-line flags to set these when you want to force
	      their values.


       auto_proxy
	      Specify proxy autoconfiguration.	Defined and empty autodetects;
	      otherwise, it should be an autoconfig URL.  But see above note
	      about Gnome/KDE.


       SOCKS_SERVER
	      SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4, also set
	      SOCKS_VERSION=5 to use SOCKS v5).


       no_proxy
	      Comma separated list of hosts or patterns to bypass proxying.


FILES
       $HOME/.config/google-chrome
	      Default directory for configuration data.


       $HOME/.cache/google-chrome
	      Default directory for cache data.	 (Why?	See
	      <http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/> .)
