I keep around a script called `chrome-new` for those rare case I still need Chrome. #!/bin/sh if [ -z $CHROME ]; then test -e "$(which chromium)" && CHROME="chromium" test -e "$(which google-chrome)" && CHROME="google-chrome" test -e "$(which google-chrome-stable)" && CHROME="google-chrome-stable" test -e "$(which google-chrome-dev)" && CHROME="google-chrome-dev" fi TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d /dev/shm/chrome-XXXXX) $CHROME --user-data-dir=$TMPDIR --no-first-run --no-default-browser-check "$@" rm -rf $TMPDIR
