Configuring proxy settings for Google Chrome on Linux

Try the --proxy-server command line option, and/or http_proxy environment variable.

google-chrome-stable --proxy-server="http://example.com:8080"

Also, Chrome/Chromium makes use of xdg scripts, so you can try configuring the proxy server in GNOME/KDE, and set up xdg scripts to use settings of the desktop environment. That is how I solved MIME-type file associations at least.

run this as root gedit /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop then add your proxy settings as you would like ie --proxy-server="http://127.0.0.1:8080" then save and run chrome .

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS with Chrome v53 (64 bit), I had to set the http_proxy / HTTP_PROXY env variables to "http://proxyserver:port" for all users for Chrome to be able to communicate.

Modify /etc/profile

export {http,ftp,https,rsync}_proxy="http://proxyserver:port"
export {HTTP,FTP,HTTPS,RSYNC}_PROXY=$http_proxy
