+Copy a stable version's .desktop file and modify it to point to your dev build:

+ * `cp /usr/share/applications/google-chrome.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop`

+ * `vim ~/.local/share/applications/chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop`

+ * Change first Exec line in desktop entry: (change path to your dev setup)

+ * `Exec=/usr/local/google/home/scheib/c/src/out/Release/chrome %U`

+Set the default:

+ * `xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop`

+Launch, telling Chrome which config you're using:

+ * `CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop out/Release/chrome`

+ * Verify Chrome thinks it is default in `about:settings` page.

+ * Press the button to make default if not.

+Restore the normal default:

+ * `xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop`

+A single line to change the default, run, and restore:

+ * `xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop && CHROME_DESKTOP=chromium-mybuild-c-release.desktop out/Release/chrome; xdg-settings set default-web-browser google-chrome.desktop && echo Restored default browser.`
