Chromium Profiles

Chromium Profile CLI management tool to make Linux users be able to use Corporate Enterprise environments where Microslop's O365 decides that blocking Linux users will increase security.

Features and Opinions

• Chromium Profile management tool
• Allows multiple Profiles in ~/Work/Sandboxes/<name>
• Allows multiple Profile variants (e.g. win10-edge, win11-chrome etc)
• Bundles a Farble User Agent extension
• Bundles a Farble Clipboard extension

Installation

go install github.com/cookiengineer/chromium-profiles/cmds/chromium-profiles@latest;

Usage

First setup is a little annoying, because Chromium's --load-extension parameter doesn't work reliably for various reasons. The chromium-profiles create <name> command will do the following:

• Create a new profile in ~/Work/Sandboxes/<name>
• Copy the browser extensions to ~/Work/Sandboxes/<name>/chromium-extensions
• Launch chromium with the profile folder parameters
• Show instructions how to install the Browser Extensions via chrome://extensions

# List available Profiles
chromium-profiles list;

# Create a Profile in ~/Work/Sandboxes/enterprise-company-name;
chromium-profiles create enterprise-company-name;

#
# Follow CLI instructions to setup Farble Browser Extensions
#

After the Chromium Profile has been setup, it can be launched again in an easier manner:

chromium-profiles launch enterprise-company-name;
