From the contents of DpkgTerminalLog
The chromium-browser package is now a transitional package that installs the chromium snap, which might take some time depending on your internet connection and on the snap store CDN.
Since the snap is downloaded and installed in the package's post-install script, there is no way to accurately report the real progress, which might be why you thought it was stuck and cancelled it?
Please try re-installing, and let us know how it goes:
sudo apt reinstall chromium-browser
