Public bug reported:
After a system crash, Chromium opens two dialog boxes showing
"You profile could not be opened correctly"
It doesn't offer any further explanations, and doesn't try to fix it by
itself. I found out that I have to remove
"~/.config/chromium/Default/{Web Data,History}". Then, I can use
Chromium normally. However, the data in those files is lost.
Instead, Chromium should write to those files in a way that the data
cannot be get corrupted in a crash. Until this is realised, Chromium
should at least offer to remove the corrupted files by itself.
