Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: chromium-browser
Since chromium doesn't have any decent way to block flash or other crap,
I installed privoxy. I then tried to run 'chromium --proxy-
server=localhost:8118', but it still loaded everything, and nothing was
reported in /var/log/privoxy/logfile.
I then tried --proxy-server=butt.head.browser:666, but lo and behold,
chromium still opened up, with no indication of anything wrong.
There appears to be no way to view the proxy configuration from within
chromium, but apparently, the command line options are just silently
ignored.
(Sorry if there's a load of crap accompanying this report, apparently,
the "Report a bug" button has been redirected to a drool-proof page of
how to report bugs, so I needed to randomly run apport to get to this
web page. Look, Canonical, if you don't want bug reports, you can just
say so.).
