On 20.04 I I have the issue upgrading Chromium (which is installed from snap package). The issue looks like @adembo's: permission is denied when upgrading snap. So after an upgrade all my Chromium user settings are reset. Also I have a "permission denied" problem opening hidden files from Chromiu

Yeah, same here. Migrating to Linux Mint because it is easier, and the home encryption is a must have for me, despite it's drawbacks etc. The Ubuntu shouldn't call the latest 18.04 release as LTS release - I do not understand why the backward compatibility is broken from one LTS release to another.
