By default a lot of stuff is disabled in Chromium/Google Chrome – support for plugins(Flash, Java, Real Player, etc.), support for extensions, support for user Greasemonkey scripts. Though there are not a lot of Chromium extensions around and few people use user Greasemonkey scripts, most people would not mind some plugin support. So, here we begin.
To enable plugin support start Chromium in this manner(executable file name is google-chrome for Google Chrome):
chromium-browser --enable-plugins
To enable support for extensions use:
chromium-browser --enable-extensions
And finally for user scripts you can start Chromium like this:
chromium-browser --enable-user-scripts
Of course you can combine them all in one mighty:
chromium-browser --enable-plugins --enable-extensions --enable-user-scripts
(this is the way I run Chromium).
If you use the official Fedora build – the Chromium launcher added to your menu uses all of the above options. In Ubuntu, however, you’ll have to add them by hand to your startup string.
