|
|
I'm so glad to see that someone has provided chromium-bin - thank you! I've installed it, and now I'd like to begin using it, but..... I have 4 windows containing a crap-ton of tabs in my current chromium, that I wouldn't like to lose, but chromium-bin always starts with a blank slate - apparently it doesn't see chromium's state and import it automatically.
I suppose if I login to chromium with a google account and sync my state up to their cloud, I can probably then load it down into the bin browser. I'd rather not do this, if avoidable. Does anyone know any kind of magic trick that will allow me to migrate my chromium state (really, just the tabs) over to the bin browser locally, without using google's cloud? Thanks.

D'oh, never mind.... of course when you ask for help you often figure it out yourself quickly:
Code: | $ chromium-bin --user-data-dir=${HOME}/.config/chromium |
I found it in the post-installation info messages:
Code: | * chromium-bin profile defaults to ${HOME}/.config/chromium-bin.
* Some extensions (e.g. KeepassXC) expect default chromium profile
* at ${HOME}/.config/chromium. You can overwrite this by adding
* --user-data-dir=${HOME}/.config/chromium to CHROMIUM_BIN_FLAGS
* in /etc/chromium-bin/default.
|
and have also added it to /etc/chromium-bin/default, as suggested. |

For your specific problem, another answer would have been to open the chromium profile, bookmark all the open tabs, then export the bookmarks into chromium-bin, and open them there. I would argue that keeping open a large number of high value tabs like that is bad form anyway, and you ought to replace them with bookmarks visited at need, since bookmarks are more persistent than the session manager's memory of open tabs. |
