Public bug reported:
I've just booted into Ubuntu 20.04 after several days or using another
release and found that the Chromium snap was updated on booting from
version 87.0.4280.141 to version 88.0.4324.96. I haven't changed any
settings but I find that Chromium's start-up or new tab page is blank
below the bookmarks bar, i.e. it doesn't contain the Google search box
or my ten shortcuts to frequently used websites.
I reverted to version 87.0.4280.141 and found that the Google search box
and shortcut icons are displayed when Chromium is started or a new tab
is created. After manually upgrading to version 88.0.4324.96 I am again
without the search box shortcut icons when starting Chromium or creating
a new tab.
I can't see any change in the setting panels that inhibit their display
and for what it's worth, the latest version of Google Chrome
(88.0.4324.96) displays the search box and shortcut icons as expected.
An addition problem just noticed is that all of my passwords
synchronised through Google seem to be incorrect. It is as if Chromium
is picking up old passwords. Gmail told me that my account was currently
inaccessible.
No problems accessing anything with Google Chrome.
