How to enable a proxy server for Chromium browsers via command prompt
Date Added: 1/13/2022

1) Open a command prompt
2) Navigate to C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application
3) Execute: chrome.exe --proxy-server=http://1.2.3.4:5678

That will launch Chrome with the proxy server configured.  You can launch multiple instances, each with its own proxy server.

Note: Chromium does not have a feature to bind to a specific IP address or network interface, so using proxy servers is the only way to control its application-instance-specific routing.
