For those who want to know how to enable this by default, you can try writing your own AppleScript to launch the application with this extra command line option, or perhaps a shell script. The AppleScript goes something like:

do shell script “/Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –enable-plugins”

the shell script:
#!/bin/bash
Applications/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –enable-plugins

Make sure you name the shell script file as NAMEHERE.command

The .command makes it so the terminal autolaunches the script when you double click it.

That's all if Chromium lives in the Applications folder. If not, put the correct path there.

Also, I posted a script on my blog which automatically downloads and installs the latest build into the Applications folder.

Been using the Chromium builds for 6 weeks now and have been waiting for flash support. Doesn't seem to work well with certain flash games though. Thanks for the post.

Even if you get the path right, as far as I know chrome runs only on intel macs. Did you try running just the chrome app ? It should fail

Dear Chrome enthusiaste! I am a non-technical girl from Sweden trying to install the latest build on my PowerBook G4.
The string ~/Downloads/chrome-mac/Chromium.app/Contents/MacOS/Chromium –enable-plugins

generates: No such file or directory.

Can U tell me what I am doing wrong?
