Chromium policy files used to support commented JSON files (with //), seems to have changed now, and if there are comments in the file the policy is not loaded. I kept deleting from my policy file that was in verison control until it worked.

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).
