# Launch chromium under the profile named after chrome-<profile name>
# This script uses whatever comes after `chrome-` in the name it's called by
# as the profile name.
#
# Usage:
#   Symlink or copy this file to `chrome-myprofile` where `myprofile` is
#   whatever name you want to give your profile.
#
#   To launch in app mode add a file to the profile directory with the url as
#   the only line and link or copy this file to `chome-myprofile+app` where
#   `myprofile` is the name of the desired profile and `app` is the name of the
#   file added to the profile directory with the url.
