I have 2 questions about how Chromium operates with a clean profile.
I run it like this:
% chromium --user-data-dir=<dir>
Directory <dir> is empty (at first launch).
After the first launch, some entries immediately appear in History. I
visited those before, but it's not everything I visited. Approximately
10-20 entries.
From where is this information taken? If it's Google servers, what info is
used for identification? IP address, system user name, something else?
Next question is about certificates. I have 2 personal certificates
installed in my main profile and they appear in the clean profile, too.
Where are those certificates stored? I couldn't find them in KDE
configuration app (System Settings). Are they taken from main profile?

Just a hunch but have you signed into Chromium with your google account
? Google has this feature/anti-feature (based on your outlook) where it
syncs bookmarks, history among other things with their servers so you have
access to it on all your computers where you've signed into Chromium.

No, of course I haven't.
Only launched it with a clean profile and opened History right away.

I would look in the ~/.config/ directory for any
chrome/chromium/google stuff which might possibly contain this data...
(even if you specified otherwise)

I have a number of certificate details and CRLs stored under ~.gnupg/
Additionally, mozilla certificates are stored in the
~/.mozilla/firefox/xxxxxx.default/ directory, but I think that these are only
used by mozilla apps, not Chromium.

Well, I found out that Chromium was automatically importing Firefox history
from all Firefox profiles.
