No, I have not, it's disabled.

No, the browser window only shows the welcome page.

However I just checked it now after explicitly deleting cookies and 
website data yesterday after reporting this.

I closed Chromium and restarted it. Currently, only cookies for 
whitelisted domains seem to be stored, but I have "file system" data for 
Amazon and several other domains listed - however, if I check details, 
it says "0 bytes" for every entry I checked, so that's probably (?) ok.


So not sure how this huge list of cookies and all the other stuff ended 
up in Chromium and was only deleted after manually requesting deletion 
of the web site data.

This isn't necessarily even related to the snap migration, I think.
