Per the man page I have tried to launch chrome with an alternate data
directory hoping to achieve separate profiles.
$ chrome --user-data-dir=~/.config/chromium_a
[75336:1591778608:0129/114259.294272:ERROR:process_singleton_posix.cc(280)]

Failed to create a ProcessSingleton for your profile directory. This means that
running multiple instances would start multiple browser processes rather than
opening a new window in the existing process. Aborting now to avoid profile
corruption.

I have tried this with ~/.config/chromium_a as an empty directory, and
as a copy of ~/.config/chromium (which is created successfully when
chrome is started without any args).
Thought I would ask if this is simply a known problem before I go
digging too deeply.
amd64 6.6 release with syspatches and pkg updates applied as of today.
