Comment 36 for bug 1616650

this has become quite a nightmare. for all many years my workflow with chromium browser was to have regularly two-digit number of tabs open for a VERY LONG time, basically the browser was closed only when kernel update required a reboot. now my workflow has changed drastically: a couple of times per day i anxiously check "menu|settings|passwords" to see if the list of saved passwords is empty or not, since afaik there is no other way to detect this problem (continuing to use the browser also started to crash it recently). then i save all the open tabs in a special backup folder of my bookmarks since the "restore open tabs" on restart restores them to some outdated state that existed at the time of the snap refresh and are basically useless. then i pin the tabs i have always pinned. as you can see this is hugely annoying and i would never use chromium from snap except that i don't have this choice anymore. imho this is a very severe regression and i am starting to think about switching to firefox instead. the 7 day thing is, sorry to say, not really a solution.
