+1 for ~/.config/chromium

In addition to that, chromium should check that it owns that location.
In my case, ~/.chromium was a file (not a directory) so chromium tried
to enter
it (failed) then tried to create a directory of the same name (failed
again) and
got stuck waiting for something forever. No log, no nothing giving a
clue to the
user (strace helped me here).
More error code and a magic cookie of some kind should do the trick.
