Uninstalling and reinstalling Chromium - bonnevie - 05-10-2017
In 3.4, I had to uninstall & reinstall Chromium using Lite Software and everything went fine. I was a little surprised to open my "new" reinstalled Chromium and all my bookmarks, history, cookies and saved passwords were there. I was expecting a clean reinstall and I wonder how I could achieve this using Lite Software? What I did was Uninstall => Update => Install.

If you use Chrome's/Chromium's user accounts - logging with a Chrome user will repopulate data.. Chrome and Chromium share data as they are essentially the same..
Most likely you have the user preference folder stored which was not deleted upon uninstall..
Chromium: ~/.config/chromium/Default
*Note this is a hidden folder which can be viewed by Clicking View - Show hidden Files
Deleting this folder will remove all user data...
