So I installed the snap version of Chromium and now can sync my account and change all preferences. The snap version is a bit slower but usable.
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.
Thanks for yoiur help. I reinstalled chromium from the repository and when I ran it, it retained all my preferences from the snap version. So I uninstalled the snap version because it was slower.
