As I stated in comment #8, reverting to an older version won't be working after the 15th of March, when Google will stop providing access to the sync API. And running an old version of a browser with known security vulnerabilities is never a good idea. -- You received this bug notification

I am using Chromium on an arm64 operating system. I've been dealing with this problem for a few days. Yesterday I restored a backup image from December, all my passwords and other information on Chromium have been restored. I was thinking that I lost all the information on my account, but with

If the profile is managed, it seems that local data is deleted - at least it becomes unusable, so it might as well be deleted. If that is avoidable, it would be good to do so. I can understand why you would want to delete the local data associated with a managed profile in some circumstances,

For personal accounts nothing is lost from what I can see so far, all data is transferred to a blank profile. My god, though, this could surely have been handled better. Not even a banner inside chromium to let us know like what I think happened with Windows Xp. -- You received this bug

I agree the statement is a bit ambiguous, but I *think* it's meant as "data that is stored locally only (and not synced) will continue to be available locally". I.e. if it wasn't synced, it won't be deleted. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is

This is an unfortunate consequence of a decision by Google to restrict access to the sync API to Chrome only (which explains why in comment #3 you're seeing that chrome 89 on linux works fine). There's a lengthy discussion with details here: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-
