Initially I had some success with deleting my profile and starting over from scratch. Thus losing my bookmarks, sessions, extensions, etc. But then Chromium eventually crashed and now it doesn't open at all. It definitely seems to be profile-related because there are no issues when running `chromium-browser --temp-profile`.
