# Chromium terminal flags

- `--ozone-platform=wayland` - Start with `wayland` instead of `X11`. For
  automatic try `--ozone-platfor-hintm=auto` instead
- `--disk-cache-dir='/dev/null'` - Disable disk cache (Chromium equivalent of
  `browser.cache.disk.enable;false`)
- `--enable-features=WaylandWindowDecorations` - Wayland title bar etc.? No
  idea, everything just has it. TODO!
- `--profile-directory=Default` - Chromium profile. Doesn't match the profile
  name specified in profile manager?
- `--app-id=` - when autostarting a PWA, this is the appid.
- `--app-run-on-os-login-mode=windowed` - when autostarting a PWA; this opens it
  in a PWA window. TODO: What are the other modes than `windowed`?
