| # Use this script on OS X to launch a new instance of Google Chrome | |
| # with its own empty cache, cookies, and user configuration. | |
| # | |
| # The first time you run this script, it will launch a new Google | |
| # Chrome instance with a permanent user-data directory, which you can | |
| # customize below. Perform any initial setup you want to keep on every | |
| # new Chrome instance, such as adding bookmarks and extensions. Then | |
| # quit this Chrome instance with Command-Q or by selecting "Quit" from | |
| # the "Chrome" menu. (The red "close" button is not sufficient.) | |
| # | |
| # AFTER that, every time you run this script it will launch a new | |
| # Google Chrome instance with a temporary user-data directory copied | |
| # from the one you set up the first time you ran this script. Every | |
| # new instance of Google Chrome launched by this script will be | |
| # completely isolated from the others. | |
| ### Customize these | |
| # Permanent directory to store the user-data directory of your 'fresh' | |
| # Chrome configuration. | |
| fresh_dir="$HOME/.fresh-chrome" | |
| # Temporary directory in which to create new user-data directories for | |
| # temporary Chrome instances. | |
