Create a chrlauncher.ini file in the same directory as chrlauncher:
[chrlauncher]# Custom Chromium update URL (string):ChromiumUpdateUrl=https://github.com/uazo/cromite/releases/latest/download/updateurl.txt# Command line for Chromium (string):# note --user-data-dir= works better if path is absolute# See here: http://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/ChromiumCommandLine=--user-data-dir="%LOCALAPPDATA%\Cromite\User Data" --no-default-browser-check# Chromium executable file name (string):ChromiumBinary=chrome.exe# Chromium binaries directory (string):# Relative (to chrlauncher directory) or full path (env. variables supported).ChromiumDirectory=.\bin
To prevent Microsoft Defender from deleting files each time the browser updates, add the user-data-dir folder to your exclusions list.
Ubuntu 24.04 and derivatives (Kubuntu, etc.) use AppArmor restrictions that may prevent Cromite from running.
AppArmor Profile (Recommended)
Temporary Disable
Permanent Disable
Create an AppArmor profile for Cromite:
1
Create Profile
Create /etc/apparmor.d/cromite with the following content:
abi <abi/4.0>,include <tunables/global>profile cromite /home/user/cromite/chrome-lin/chrome flags=(unconfined) { userns, include if exists <local/chrome>}
Replace /home/user/cromite/chrome-lin/chrome with your actual Cromite binary path.
