The default behaviour for the desktop application invocation will be in /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop in the Exec definition if you don't mind hacking packaged files.

There's probably a canonical mechanism to override that at a per-user level too.


Note: Please don't modify .desktop files in /usr/share/applications as a) that would require root and b) your changes will be overwritten the next time the app is updated. If you want to modify a .desktop file copy the file to ~/.local/share/applications and edit it there.

.desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications take precedence over .desktop files with the same name in /usr/share/applications and you can hack up the ones in your home directory all day long - worst that could happen is you'd do it wrong and have to start over but the original .desktop file is still on your system :)
I tried copying /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications and then modifying to say:
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable ----enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=wayland

But I don't think it worked, because I don't see these options in ps.  Also the original said:
Exec=/usr/bin/google-chrome-stable --incognito

And I don't think it was using incognito mode.

How do I know if it actually used this desktop file and is there something else I need to do?
