chromium invokes `xdg-settings get default-web-browser` to determine the
default browser, and this is being blocked by apparmor.
If I add the following rule to
/var/lib/snapd/apparmor/profiles/snap.chromium.chromium:
/usr/bin/xdg-settings ixr,
chromium nows displays a different message, and a button to allow
setting itself as default browser. However when clicking that button,
I'm getting:
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
io.snapcraft.Settings was not provided by any .service files

Title:
[snap] Chromium cannot determine or set the default browser
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
When browsing to chrome://settings, the [Default browser] section
shows the following message:
Chromium cannot determine or set the default browser
and it doesn't allow setting itself as the default browser.
Note that setting the default webbrowser to the chromium snap from the
outside does work:
xdg-settings set default-web-browser chromium_chromium.desktop
