  • How to import settings from Chrome to Chromium?

    From William Unruh@2:250/1 to All on Mon Oct 10 03:54:58 2022
    I would like to use chromium, but I have a bunch of setting in Chrome (passwords, cookies, etc) that I would like to transfer from chrome to chromium. How do I do it?

    Personally I would use google search to get whatever commands to
    export desired data, then search to get import commands.

    Which is how I found https://askubuntu.com/questions/89567/how-to-import-chromium-browser-data-to-chrome
    assuming the reverse procedure works or go by https://www.reddit.com/r/Chromium/comments/6rh2de/any_way_to_easily_migrate_to_chromium_from_chrome/
    assuming that 5 year old procedure still works.

    First I'd make a full backup of that user's home directory after rebooting and logging in as another user to ensure no open files, just in case it doesn't work.

    Just in passing, I have found most answers in one of the Ubuntu forums.
    Or, for anything command line, Arch Linux has a very full manual. Linux
    Mint needs to be used with caution, because it is extensively modified
    to make everything work smoothly.
