NAME
brave-origin-nightly - Brave Browser
SYNOPSIS
brave-origin-nightly [OPTION] [PATH|URL]
DESCRIPTION
See the Brave Help Center for help on using the browser.
This manpage only describes invocation, environment, and arguments.
OPTIONS
Brave Origin (nightly) has hundreds of undocumented command-line flags that are added and removed at the whim of the
developers. Here, we document relatively stable flags.
--user-data-dir=DIR
Specifies the directory that user data (your "profile") is kept in. Defaults to $HOME/.config/brave-origin-
nightly . Separate instances of Brave Origin (nightly) must use separate user data directories; repeated in‐
vocations of brave-origin-nightly will reuse an existing process for a given user data directory.
--app=URL
Runs URL in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
--incognito
Open in incognito mode.
--new-window
If PATH or URL is given, open it in a new window.
--proxy-server=host:port
Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests. This overrides any environment variables or
settings picked via the options dialog. An individual proxy server is specified using the format:
[://][:]
Where is the protocol of the proxy server, and is one of:
"http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".
If the is omitted, it defaults to "http". Also note that "socks" is equivalent to "socks5".
Examples:
--proxy-server="foopy:99"
Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.
--proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
--proxy-server="socks4://foobar:1080"
Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
--proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.
It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for different URL types, by prefixing the proxy server
specifier with a URL specifier:
Example:
--proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"
Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy "proxy1:80". And load http://*
URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".
--no-proxy-server
Disables the proxy server. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
--proxy-auto-detect
Autodetect proxy configuration. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dia‐
log.
--proxy-pac-url=URL
Specify proxy autoconfiguration URL. Overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options
dialog.
--password-store=
Set the password store to use. The default is to automatically detect based on the desktop environment. ba‐
sic selects the built in, unencrypted password store. gnome selects Gnome keyring. kwallet selects (KDE)
KWallet. (Note that KWallet may not work reliably outside KDE.)
--version
Show version information.
As a GTK+ app, Brave Origin (nightly) also obeys GTK+ command-line flags, such as --display. See the GTK documenta‐
tion for more:
ENVIRONMENT
Brave Origin (nightly) obeys the following environment variables:
all_proxy
Shorthand for specifying all of http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP. Note: because Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into
these variables in some terminals, this variable is ignored (in preference for actual system proxy settings)
when running under Gnome or KDE. Use the command-line flags to set these when you want to force their values.
auto_proxy
Specify proxy autoconfiguration. Defined and empty autodetects; otherwise, it should be an autoconfig URL.
But see above note about Gnome/KDE.
SOCKS_SERVER
SOCKS proxy server (defaults to SOCKS v4, also set SOCKS_VERSION=5 to use SOCKS v5).
no_proxy
Comma separated list of hosts or patterns to bypass proxying.
FILES
$HOME/.config/brave-origin-nightly
Default directory for configuration data.
$HOME/.cache/brave-origin-nightly
Default directory for cache data. (Why? See .)
