how I "fixed" Chromium crashing on accessing settings

There's a better way to do this. Exit Chromium entirely from the menu so it's not running, open a terminal and run `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser`. This launches the chromium binary directly with no command-line flags and will be slow, but the settings page will work and your settings will persist after this session. Make any settings changes you need then exit chrome and re-start it from the gui as normal, your settings will be in place.
