+### <a id="customize-crashpad"></a>Enabling and Customizing the built-in Crashpad
+
+As [implemented by VS Code](https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Native-Crash-Issues), the directory where Electron places its crash minidumps can be customized, if one launches VSCodium with the `--crash-reporter-directory <absolute-path>` cli option.
+
+Note that when launched with this cli option, Crashpad will always be enabled, but never telemetered, regardless of the enable-crash-reporter configurations in `settings.json` and `argv.json`. The minidumps will be stored in your specified `<absolute-path>` and never uploaded.

 ### <a id="replacement-online-services"></a>Replacements to Microsoft Online Services
 
 When searching the `@tag:usesOnlineServices` filter, note that while the "Update: Mode" setting description still says "The updates are fetched from a Microsoft online service", VSCodium's build script [sets the `updateUrl` field](https://github.com/VSCodium/vscodium/blob/master/prepare_vscode.sh#L36) in `product.json` to that of VSCodium's own small [update server](https://github.com/VSCodium/update-api), so enabling that setting won't actually result in any calls to Microsoft servers.
