Title:
Broken setting custom flags in /usr/bin/chromium-browser script
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
To workaround LP#1808853 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1808853) I
tried to make the following script (/etc/chromium-
browser/customizations/20-chromium-useragent-fix):
https://gitlab.com/mikhailnov/nastr/blob/master/chromium-useragent-
fix.sh
But it does not work due to probably an error in /usr/bin/chromium-
browser
If use an unmodified /usr/bin/chromium-browser, then my scripts leads
to openning multiple tabs, because --useagent=VALUE is passed as
multiple arguements, not one.
I've made a patch:

exit $?

After this multiple pages are not openned, but, if we run
$ bash -x /usr/bin/chromium-browser
we see:
+ exec /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser '

AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.80 Safari/537.36
--enable-pinch' https://yandex.ru/internet
the problem is in ' ', new user-agent is not applied
If to run manually
$ /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser
--ppapi-flash-path=/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so
--ppapi-flash-version=32.0.0.101 --user-agent=Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64)
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.80 Safari/537.36
--enable-pinch https://yandex.ru/internet
then setting a custom useragent does work.
What can be done?
