How to limit Chromium browser's cache size

[ralphy]

To do it globally in the system, do not touch any of the launchers you mentioned above. Instead edit /etc/chromium-browser/default


Pass the arguments you want so that every instance executed in the system carries those arguments. e.g.:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/chromium-browser/default

Code:

# file /etc/chromium-browser/default
...
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disk-cache-size=52428800"
...
# OR
# assumes we want additional flags such as disk-cache-dir
# note the example below puts chromium's cache folder on your Desktop... not ideal!
... 
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--disk-cache-size=52428800 --disk-cache-dir=$HOME/Desktop/chromium-cache"
...
