Public bug reported:

(initially reported at https://askubuntu.com/questions/1202861/chromium-
does-not-show-certificates-from-pki-nssdb)

Chromium can theoretically use the shared NSS db at ~/.pki/nssdb, but
the snap confinement prevents it from actually using the shared db (it
reads and writes to $SNAP/.pki/nssdb instead).

Shared certificates can be inspected by browsing to
chrome://settings/certificates.

Really accessing the shared db would require an additional read/write
personal-files plug on $HOME/.pki/nssdb, and patching
GetDefaultConfigDirectory() in crypto/nss_util.cc.

** Affects: chromium-browser (Ubuntu)
