36 in "app mode": with no browser toolbars.
40 Open in incognito mode.
43 \fB\-\-proxy-server\fR=\fIhost:port\fR
44 Specify the HTTP/SOCKS4/SOCKS5 proxy server to use for requests. This
45 overrides any environment variables or settings picked via the options dialog.
46 An individual proxy server is specified using the format:
48 [<proxy-scheme>://]<proxy-host>[:<proxy-port>]
50 Where <proxy-scheme> is the protocol of the proxy server, and is one of:
52 "http", "socks", "socks4", "socks5".
54 If the <proxy-scheme> is omitted, it defaults to "http". Also note that
55 "socks" is equivalent to "socks5".
59 --proxy-server="foopy:99"
60 Use the HTTP proxy "foopy:99" to load all URLs.
62 --proxy-server="socks://foobar:1080"
63 Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
65 --proxy-server="socks4://foobar:1080"
66 Use the SOCKS v4 proxy "foobar:1080" to load all URLs.
68 --proxy-server="socks5://foobar:66"
69 Use the SOCKS v5 proxy "foobar:66" to load all URLs.
71 It is also possible to specify a separate proxy server for different URL types,
72 by prefixing the proxy server specifier with a URL specifier:
76 --proxy-server="https=proxy1:80;http=socks4://baz:1080"
77 Load https://* URLs using the HTTP proxy "proxy1:80". And load http://*
78 URLs using the SOCKS v4 proxy "baz:1080".
81 \fB\-\-no-proxy-server\fR
82 Disables the proxy server. Overrides any environment variables or
83 settings picked via the options dialog.
86 \fB\-\-proxy-auto-detect\fR
87 Autodetect proxy configuration. Overrides any environment variables
88 or settings picked via the options dialog.
91 \fB\-\-proxy-pac-url\fR=\fIURL\fR
92 Specify proxy autoconfiguration URL. Overrides any environment variables
93 or settings picked via the options dialog.
96 \fB\-\-password-store\fR=<\fIbasic\fR|\fIgnome\fR|\fIkwallet\fR>
97 Set the password store to use. The default is to automatically detect based
98 on the desktop environment. \fIbasic\fR selects the built in, unencrypted
99 password store. \fIgnome\fR selects Gnome keyring. \fIkwallet\fR selects
100 (KDE) KWallet. (Note that KWallet may not work reliably outside KDE.)

124 .B http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy
125 The proxy servers used for HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP.
127 because Gnome/KDE proxy settings may propagate into these variables
128 in some terminals, this variable is ignored (in preference for actual
129 system proxy settings) when running under Gnome or KDE. Use the
130 command-line flags to set these when you want to force their values.
134 Specify proxy autoconfiguration. Defined and empty autodetects; otherwise,
135 it should be an autoconfig URL. But see above note about Gnome/KDE.
