Approve that if edit a file .config/chromium/Default/Preferences

Find a section:
"webkit": {
      "webprefs": {
         "inspector_settings": "lastActivePanel:string:console\n"
      }
   }

and remove ' "inspector_settings": "lastActivePanel:string:console\n"'
Chromium gets back to normal.

Final config part:
"webkit": {
      "webprefs": {
      }
   }
