I am investigating whether I can fix the error by using an option, '--user-data-dir=/tmp', when I launch the chromiumdriver.

First, snap has made the use of this simple tool, chromiumdriver, much more complex.

Second, I have tried to uninstall the snap version of the tool and I cannot now install a non-snap version. Somehow snap has soured the soup.

If it is going to cause these kinds of problems, I am certainly not going to be trying to use snap for other tools unless I have to. If the install requirements are very complex, such as with installing certificates, snap is a good thing. But when the install process is simple, one should not use snap? Is that the solution?
