There is some logic in the chromium snap to automatically import an
existing chromium-browser profile on first run, and from the look of the
logs attached to this bug (Snap.Connections.txt), this should just work.
I wonder whether it could be that you had installed the chromium snap in
the past, then removed it, and because of this it didn't take the "first
run" code path, which would have imported your existing profile.
Can execute the following commands in a terminal, and share the output
here:
rm -rf ~/snap/chromium
snap run chromium
and let us know if this is working better. Thanks.

Title:
upgrate to snapd wipes out all user settings
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Ubuntu 19.10. apt-get upgrade. I'm warned that chromium from now on
required snapd and will only be implemented as snap packages. I complete the
upgrade, start chromium-browser and
- config settings are gone
- bookmarks are gone
- history is gone
- languages are gone
- addons are gone
- extensions are gone
- saved passwords are gone
Maybe it's as simple as moving some directory in my $HOME to a new
location, but since this is a snapd I worry that I'd have to pull
apart the snap package to insert things like dictionaries, and repeat
this effort every time snapd updates the package (which it does
silently! I'd only know if the software breaks!)
