Describe the solution you would like

Hi there,

Current cromit config folder use chromium config folder ~/user/.config/chromium. If the user want to install chromium side by side with cromite both browsers use ~/user/.config/chromium path and settings conflict.

Describe alternatives you have considered

Cromite use it's own config folder ~/user/.config/cromite to avoid conflict with chromium.

Same profile directory for 'chromium' and 'cromite' is very confusing...

I got disconnected from all sessions after starting 'Cromite' for the first time and this occurs every time I switch between Chromium and Cromite.

A temporary fix is to specify a different profile directory for 'cromite' by changing app desktop/launcher shortcut.

On most platforms, the user data directory can be overridden by passing the --user-data-dir command-line flag to the Chrome binary.

The override happens in chrome/app/chrome_main_delegate.cc. Platforms not building with the file may not have implemented the override. Overriding the user data directory via the command line is not supported on iOS.

Example:

• [Windows] chrome.exe --user-data-dir=c:\foo
• [Linux] google-chrome --user-data-dir=/path/to/foo
