The snap confinement also seems to create a number of other problems.
I've also observed:

* Webmail - if I receive an attachment of certain types (libreoffice is
broken; pdf is OK), then I get a "please confirm you want to allow
chromium to open this file" dialog every single time.

* password manager (save passwords) is broken - it won't remember
passwords I saved, nor does it remember my preference not to save the
passwords for web-development on localhost, but prompts every time.

* cross site logins are broken (sign into gmail for work, and other
sites that use that gmail auth just fail).

* some extensions break (e.g. the JSONViewer is silently-non-
functional.)

All of these are fixed if I download and unzip the binary from here:
https://download-chromium.appspot.com/  - though it sacrifices the entire point 
of running a distro.

I understand the rationale for saving developer time, but this is really
broken for me and my company. If it would help, we'd happily be invoiced
£500 by the Ubuntu project if you could go back to the deb build - even
if you chose only to ship alternate releases.
