I had been having frequent hangs with my 4-year-old Ryzen 5 1400 system. In the process of debugging, I replaced my boot drive, which also had /home on it. When I installed ubuntu a year ago, I downloaded and installed chromium from your website. It was not the snap version. This time I reinstalled after installing the new drive (500G M.2), and the ubuntu installer did not install chromium. I went looking, and it appeared that snap-chromium was now the preferred version, so I installed it. When I did, I found I no longer had any bookmarks, passwords, etc., and inspected the file system. Please do not try to lay this at the feet of the M.2 drive or the ubuntu installer. > > The Chromium deb stores its configuration files in > $HOME/.config/chromium, whereas the snap in $HOME/snap/chromium/common. > -- Kathleen M.
