Limit Chromium cache size in Linux

I need to limit the cache size of Chromium in my debian computer. I've tried to edit the master-preferences in order to solve this problem, but every time I reopen the browser this file restore its original values. How can I modify this values to have for example a limit of 10M cache everytime?

Absolutely. An easy fix to this is to add the following argument to the command.

chromium-browser --disk-cache-size=n

say n is 500000000 this would be 500 MB

You can check to make sure it increased it by typing the following in your browser and then looking at the Max Size value.

chrome://net-internals/#httpCache
