Can I ask where you see the overridden --user-data-dir flag?
I'm not seeing it here when running with the default config. Using a custom
user-data-dir should be fine, as long as it's somewhere the strictly confined
snap is allowed to read (e.g. under $HOME or /media).

Title:
Snap changes the specified user data on it own accord
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release: 20.04
chromium 99.0.4844.51 1926 latest/stable canonical✓
-
When starting chromium-browser, I specify the --user-data-
dir=/path/to/special/location, but the snap installation (took me
awhile to figure out was not apt, but sneaky snap), takes the liberty
of adding '--user-data-dir=/home/guest/snap/chromium/common/chromium'
directly after my flag.
Well there is a good reason I set the user-data-dir, because its on a
terminal with OverlayFS (a read only file system), and there is a
separate partion for read/write that I point it to, so it maintains
the data between reboots.
Please don't override peoples required preferences.
