switch "--connectivity-check-url" exists:
https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-command-line-switches/

Different topic. This will help us to integrate packaged extensions once we get there:
https://data.gpo.zugaina.org/gentoo/www-client/chromium/files/chromium-launcher-r3.sh
and probably some more files.
