Mac Chrome Fresh

Create a bash file, something like "chrome-fresh.sh" with the following, it will randomize a file for a new user profile in your temp folder

#!/bin/bash
tfile=$(mktemp /tmp/chrome.XXXXXXXXX)
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir=/tmp/$tfile

Or Launch a Single browser, delete the temp folder when you want a fresh one.

cd /tmp
rm -rf james_bonds_browser
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --user-data-dir="/tmp/james_bonds_browser"

If you launch a chrome fresh grab yourself some plug-ins if you need them.

Install Microsoft Fonts with Play on Linux

Refer: https://gist.github.com/ibrahimtuzlak0295/2a66981f99f25e08cb2039df53391b05

The Play on Linux Way

Normally the Microsoft Core Fonts can be installed like this:

  • Click Configure
  • Select the prefix where you want the fonts installed
  • Tab Install components
  • Select Microsoft Core Fonts from the list and click Install

Manually

However, if for some reason this doesn't install the fonts, it's still possible to do that manually. First install the ttf-mscorefonts-installer package:

sudo apt install ttf-mscorefonts-installer

Note the prefix name: ls ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix

And replace yourprefix in the command with the one you want:

cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/* ~/.PlayOnLinux/wineprefix/yourprefix/drive_c/windows/Fonts

Now we have the core fonts in place. We can remove the package:

sudo apt purge ttf-mscorefonts-installer
