Update :

I have removed ~/.cache/chromium and ~/.config/chromium , then have
restored ~/.config/chromium from a filesystem snapshot (I use the
excellent SuSE Snapper tool http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Snapper ) made
on january 1st - before my browser got infected.

After doing so, the symptoms of infection are gone - Google search
results are no more manipulated to redirect me to "findgala"...

I assume that the problem is fixed, however I'm not 100% sure, as I
couldn't find any other pertinent info about how to clean this crap from
a GNU /  Linux machine...

clamscan doesn't seem to find any suspicious file in the "infected"
snapshot of ~/.config/chromium
