[Question] Running the newly installed chrome.exe directly without any command line arguments opens up my existing ungoogled-chromium exe #251

Description

I have been using ungoogled-chromium on Windows 11 for a few months without chrlauncher.

I only just discovered chrlauncher.

So I downloaded & installed chrlauncher. After installing it, if I run chrlauncher.exe it opens up a small window
Only after I go to the File Menu & click on Start does the Ungoogled Chromium instance start.

This seems to be rather painful, so I tried a few things

  1. Inside the ChrLauncher directory there is a bin directory, which contains a chrome.exe - however when I run this exe, it opens up my existing ungoogled-chromium & not the new chrlauncher downloaded one.

  2. I started ChrLauncher & then clicked File & Start & started the new Ungoogled Chromium - I then Pinned this to the taskbar. I then shut down the browser & tried to start through the Pinned shortcut - however this again started my existing older Ungoogled Chromium Browser.

Does this mean that I have to first uninstall my existing Ungoogled Chromium to use chrlauncher seamlessly?

My existing Ungoogled Chromium version is rather old - Version120.0.6099.129


App version: 2.6
Windows version: Windows 11
