Also I cannot _download_ files. In the dpkg installation, they were
saved to /tmp and could be opened with the appropriate helper program
(e.g., Evince). Now I see the download in the bottom of the browser bar,
but the file will not open (clicks are ignored). chrome://downloads/
displays them, but again I cannot open them. *Show in folder* silently
does nothing. They downloads are not in ~/Downloads/ or anywhere else I
can identify.

Worked around by going into chrome://settings/downloads and changing the
default download location to ~/Downloads. This works, though now I have
to set up a script to delete old downloads—I cannot rely on the system’s
built-in behavior of clearing /tmp after restarts.
