As a new chromium version came in I have tested this again:

gert@flupp:~$ rm -rf ~/snap/chromium/current/.config/
gert@flupp:~$ chromium
[10090:10090:1109/162748.523398:ERROR:sandbox_linux.cc(369)] InitializeSandbox() called with multiple threads in process gpu-process.

gert@flupp:~$

Again the config was not transfered.

gert@flupp:~$ sed -e 's/.*"last_chrome_version":"\([0-9\.]\+\)".*/\1\n/' ~/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences
sed: can't read /home/gert/.config/chromium/Default/Preferences: No such file or directory

Should there be a Link "Default" to the "Profile 1" directory?

Here is the content of my former .config/chromium directory:

gert@flupp:~$ ls -l ~/.config/chromium/
