Warranty void. In my case, the Debian Chromium's profile was already there when I installed Guix's ungoogled-chromium. I didn't even notice that Guix's ungoogled-chromium cannot install extensions from the Chrome Store. > I'd accept a patch that warns or refuses to use a "tainted" browser > profile, or changes the default browser profile directory so it does not > conflict with vanilla. Unfortunately I cannot write such a patch; I would have to dedicate a large amount of time learning about Chromium's insides (which are reportedly byzantine) and I don't even know if I'll actually keep using Guix's ungoogled-chromium. But couldn't you report this to ungoogled-chromium upstream? > But I'm inclined to close this as "not-a-bug" for now. WDYT, Jorge? In my humble opinion, users should be communicated, especially users of Guix package manager on another GNU distribution. Maybe at least a warning in the package description that mixing Guix's ungoogled-chromium and host distribution's Chromium on the same profile is unsupported?
