Chromium question

[bbse]

every time I open chromium I get a Facebook settings page....or really, a popup that if I click on opens a FB settings page. I have looked and cannot figure out where this is coming from...using Mint 20.1, up to date. Mate 1.24

you can set your browser to open any page when starting. most likely you were misled by facebook to make it your homepage. paste this in addressbar and figure out how you want your browser to open. this isn't a linux issue

Code: Select all

chrome://settings/defaultBrowser

also add a home button to your tab

Code: Select all

chrome://settings/appearance

In Chromium, open the 3 dot menu, then Settings, scroll down to On Startup, check the dot 'Open a specific page or set of pages' and be sure only your preferred homepage is there (for example: https://www.duckduckgo.com)

I went into settings and changed all the settings back to standard/and to DDK as home page. that seems to have fixed it.thanks
