Have you tried renaming the configuration folder for the browser? There is a folder inside ~/.config which you can rename after closing all instances of Chromium. When you launch the browser you will get vanilla settings.

If you open the file manager and show hidden files (I believe it's ALT + H) then open ~/.config you will see the folder

Right click the Chromium folder and add "_old' to the folder name

Can you help with this problem?
