You can add --user-data-dir=/home/USER/.config/cromite (replace USER with your username) to your ~/.config/cromite-flags.conf file.

This way, Cromite will have its own profile, separate from any other Chromium-based browser.

You might also want to add --disk-cache-dir=/home/USER/.cache/cromite, on a seperate line of your cromite-flags.conf, to make sure that Cromite is not sharing a cache with another browser.

Your ~/.config/cromite-flags.conf file should look something like this:

--user-data-dir=/home/USER/.config/cromite
--disk-cache-dir=/home/USER/.cache/cromite

Is it possible not to share the same profile, config, extensions for Chromium, ungoogled-chromium and Cromite ? Thx

Yes, you can install Cromite alongside ungoogled-chromium or Chromium. They install in seperate locations.

However, the default user config directory will be the same (~/.config/chromium) and thus Chromium, ungoogled-chromium and Cromite would share the same profile, config, extensions...

It is due to the fact the source file from Github always has the same name "chrome-lin64.tar.gz" and your AUR tool assumes that, since it has the same name (different URL...), it is the same file and does not re-download it.

I changed the PKGBUILD to artificially rename the file so that it should be different on each release.

This should solve your issue.

Literally every update this package has makes it fail due to the checksum validity check. Every.Single.Time!

I don't know what/why/how but this pkgbuild is doing something weird somewhere that triggers it and requires a manual clean before building. I hope you could take a close look at what's happening and see if you can fix it. This one is the only one causing me trouble every time out of ~30 other AUR packages that i have installed.

I did not clear the cache. It works after deleting the cache.

If you are using a tool like Yay or Paru, could you try to make the package manually to check if you still the error?

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/cromite-bin.git
cd cromite-bin
makepkg -si
