Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS
Release:        20.04

chromium           99.0.4844.51     1926   latest/stable  canonical✓  -

When starting chromium-browser, I specify the --user-data-
dir=/path/to/special/location, but the snap installation (took me awhile
to figure out was not apt, but sneaky snap), takes the liberty of adding
'--user-data-dir=/home/guest/snap/chromium/common/chromium' directly
after my flag.

Well there is a good reason I set the user-data-dir, because its on a
terminal with OverlayFS (a read only file system), and there is a
separate partion for read/write that I point it to, so it maintains the
data between reboots.

Please don't override peoples required preferences.
