If I install `chrome` (instead of snap chromium), and place the policy in the documented location (https://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start/), then it works first time like a charm. Whereas last night (I spent 6 hours between 8pm and 2am trying to get it to work with the snap version), but to me it felt like I was shooting in the dark. There must be something I am missing, in which case if this is documented and sorted out, I apologise.

When one follows Chrome's documentation to use policies, it does not work: https://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick- start/ If snap mutates various path's and changes various things, I hope this layer of obfuscation is documented somewhere? I could not find it. Similar to this issue but none of the paths in this issue work for me anymore: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1714244 I have tried many combos of dirs/permissions from stackoverflow and bug reports but they don't seem to work. I don't know what snap is doing to Chromium behind the scenes, and perhaps it seems undocumented? Apologies if it is documentented (but can't find it).
