Sorry, there won't be a new release for Bionic. Since there is no reason
this would not apply to the snap too, I leave the bug report for the
package open.

Title:
chromium 111 and 112 have the wrong architecture in the user agent
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in chromium-browser source package in Bionic:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Using chromium browser on ubuntu bionic (the apt version), the wrong
user agent is present in chromium 111 and 112. When testing the arm64
build, the user agent is expected to contain the string aarch64
however it contains the string x86_64. I am not aware if i386 and
armhf builds are also affected by this or not. This was not an issue
in chromium 110 builds, they had the correct user agent. I am assuming
this is likely an issue with chromium source and not packaging in
particular.
On the other hand, using x86_64 fixes a bug that youtube has on
aarch64 user agent, where it thinks it's a Hisense TV and limits max
resolution to 480p since chromium 110+. playback debug info from
youtube to show that:
