I understand your frustration, and I'm sorry this is breaking your workflow.
Be assured that this bug (and others reported against the chromium snap
package) is a top priority.
The point of the transition of chromium-browser to a snap package in
19.10 is precisely to uncover this kind of problems early on, before the
next LTS (20.04), and to ensure everything works smoothly by then. I'd
suggest you stick to the current LTS for professional environments if
this problem is unacceptable.

Title:
chromium-browser fails to start after upgrade to eoan
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
did a distro upgrade to eoan through upon request of popup app in
ubuntu today
restarted the system
tried starting chromium-browser from the "Run Application" (Alt-F2)
Chromium should have started, nothing happened.
Tried again from a shell:
$ chromium-browser

Permission denied
apt-get --purge remove chromium-browser
apt-get install chromium-browser
exits successfully, after exclaiming some stuff about some snap, but
leaves me with
$ chromium-browser

Either the upgrade to eoan left my system broken, or chromium-browser is
broken.
