Set Chromium default startup page

November 26, 2023 — BarryK

Back when Firefox was builtin to Easy, it would start with the "EasyOS jumping off page", which is at /usr/share/doc/home.htm

I have now set Chromium to be the same:

...this default only applies to new installs of EasyOS 5.6.4. Updates will have to go into the Chromium "Settings" to change the default page.

If "chromium" is run in a terminal, there is a message

# chromium
Unable to revert mtime: /usr/share/fonts/Type1
[12515:12515:1126/102634.405729:ERROR:policy_logger.cc(154)] :components/enterprise/browser/controller/chrome_browser_cloud_management_controller.cc(163) \
Cloud management controller initialization aborted as CBCM is not enabled.

...now starting chromium with "--enable-chrome-browser-cloud-management=no", which avoids that message about "CBCM is not enabled".
