Climbing the tree from the wrong end. After six hours useless efforts of modding chromium settings underdstood that chromium does not have rights to write or read /home/user/.config. /.config I used chown -R user:users chromium and then deleted Web Data and Preferences folders and the first time access to chromium without error window. Have to see if could now get the settings to stay. Chrome://flags has many possibilities and about:config too. Probably will have success on ruining the whole browser but gonna try. I made to chromium a profile "LinuxNinja". The icon looks like the ninja in the C64 Bruce Lee which you can strike down easily but it just keeps coming back. Feeling that ninja with this chromium.
