As suggested by user ajgringo619 on askubuntu, disconnecting the home
interface would get you close to what you're after. However to my
knowledge there's no way to selectively connect certain folders in the
home directory, such as ~/Downloads.
Note that if you disconnect the home interface, you will need to tell
chromium where to store downloaded files, by configuring this in
chrome://settings/downloads.

Title:
Sandboxing Chromium Snap without FireJail
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I'm a Firefox user who uses Chromium for certain google websites.
I like to run Chromium in a sandbox so that the "Downloads" folder is
the only file system location Chromium can see.
In Ubuntu 19.04, I could achieve this with:
sudo apt install chromium-browser firejail ; firejail chromium-browser
In Ubuntu 19.10, Chromium is only offered as a snap package:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1847092
Firejail, doesn't work with Chromium's snap package installation:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1178995
The snap installation's degree of isolation seems to be controlled by
the developer of snap package.
Since firejail no longer works for achieving this degree of isolation,
I'm requesting that the Snap Package Maintainer (of Chromium), provide
an alternative installation that only give Chromium access to the
"Downloads" folder exclusively.
