description |
Currently Chromium does not follow the XDG base directory specification which means that the cache and configuration folder aren't properly used.
This causes the issue that it's nearly impossible to properly migrate or back up Chromium configuration (between computers) and it makes for example mounting cache as tmpfs or wiping it very very difficult.
I felt those both immensely when trying to migrate my home folder, gigabytes of cache in ~/snap (also not XDG base directory specification compliant, shame!).
There's also the issue that the previous configuration that is located properly, isn't migrated by the migrational package.
In order to fix this bug, it would require making the snap package follow the XDG base directory specification. |
