I think usually "complete removal" removes only system files associated with a package. It won't get rid of things like cache files in users' home directories, etc.. Honestly, I don't think *any* existing packaging system does that. It seems rather heavy-handed (what if the user wanted to preserve preferences across reinstalls?).
If you really wanted to do something that extreme, I guess bleachbit is an option. :-D
Good to hear.
Oh I see. That's a possible approach if all else fails, though I can't see how much of a difference it would make vs. just deleting the caches, config files, and existing profiles. Presumably Chromium does not run in suid mode so it should not be able to modify any system files and leave a trace somewhere that will taint it later. But sure, why not, if you're paranoid about detritus leftover from the last time.
So did you try it? Did it work?
By uninstalling completely, you mean reinstalling the entire OS??! I've never had to do that with any of my Linux systems. Used to do it all the time with Windows, but I think the reasons for that are well-known.
As for Chromium, I only use it for specific sites, so not enough for me to really say for sure. But perhaps one possible problem is old / corrupted profiles? If you inherited your profile from older versions of Chromium, it may have accumulated legacy crud that could be causing malfunctions. Maybe try deleting all your profiles and re-creating them from scratch? I've had to do that with Firefox profiles once, and it got rid of a lot of strange intermittent problems. Try to resist the urge to import old data if possible -- sometimes that will also import inherited problems from the past.
You could also try clearing out caches and old settings. Not from within the browser -- that's unreliable -- but manually deleting $HOME/.cache/chromium, $HOME/.config/chromium (warning: this will also destroy your profiles), and /tmp/.org.chromium.Chromium.*, and then reconfiguring Chromium from scratch.
I heard she was a tap dancer.
Until one day, she fell into the sink.
Wow you must really hate your wife!
OTOH...

After a lifetime of solving difficult math problems, the mathematician unfortunately succumbed to heart disease. He couldn't solve his arrhythmatic problem.
Why does this impressionist painting look like coins falling from the sky?
Because it's Cloud Monet.
Student A: I can't believe it!! Remember that boy Joe?
Student B: Joe? The guy the teacher's always sending out of the class for not doing his homework?
Student A: Yeah! Guess what, he got straight A's in the exams!
Student B: Well, I guess he's always been outstanding...
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to afford to pay attention. I'd have to pay through the nose, you see. The scenter of attention.
Wife: Honey, you really need to watch your weight.
Husband: I've been watching my weight! I've finally gotten it to the point where I can see it!
Why are teenagers so odd?
Because they can't even.
I don't trust Chromium. I only use it for the handful of antiquated sites that refuse to play nice with Firefox. Too many auto-tracking things, and other misfeatures like that.
I'm not a big fan of Firefox either (too bloated, too many unneeded features, telemetry, etc.), but it's the lesser of the two evils IMO. The Web itself is evil, but at present avoiding it altogether isn't yet practical. Maybe one day...
@soren: that bus driver joke was awesome. Nice to see a new participant in this sordid thread.
On a lighter note, what do you call a country of skydiving fanatics?
An explanation.
Lighten up, @golinux! This is a joke thread; what was said wasn't intended to be taken seriously!
But now that I've to come out and say it, it's no longer funny. Sigh.
As someone once said, you are only young once, but you can remain immature indefinitely!
Sounds like the vegetable who got into a pickle because it thought it was a big dill in the world... 🤣
Your image links seem to be inaccessible to the public.
Reminds me of the time there was a conference on web technologies in this fancy new building downtown, in room 404, but the attendees couldn't find the room!
Puns on the internet: a dime a dozen.
Classical masterpieces on YouTube: a fortune.
Classical masterpieces while reading the Devuan joke thread: priceless.
Never ask a magician to reveal his tricks. Just enjoy the show.
Well I guess my name is now Ian. Having lost my magic.
Disappointed?? And here I was thinking these jokes must have been well-known already, since anyone could find them online within a few seconds or so on any competent search engine. Or at the most a few minutes.
@zapper: credit where credit is due, I wasn't the one who posted the blacksmith joke.
And you're giving me too much credit; I didn't invent most of these jokes; they are mostly sto^Wborrowed from the internet and suitably adapted to context. As they say in the humour biz, delivery is everything. I guess even the lowly deliverman deserves a tip or two for knowing the right keywords to coax a certain hated search engine to spit out a series of lame puns. Of course, this particular deliverman also rolls his own sometimes, or if a particular pun really tickles him, mixes it with others to make it even more cringe-worthy.
This being his side-job, you understand, when he's not busy delivering pizz^W^Wwriting code for some big evil corporation.
I wanted to cook something. The directions said to set the oven to 180°.
Speaking of which, if you ever feel cold in the house, simply go and stand in the corner. It's usually 90° there.
Of course, by now you've all already heard the joke about dialing an imaginary phone number and the operator telling you to turn the phone 90° and try again. It's a complex joke, but remember, an imaginary friend squared is a real enemy!
Also, have you heard about the trees that are good at math? They have square roots!
Of course, even more special is the tree with cube roots. But that joke is pretty hard to understand because it's too elliptic.
Finally, why did the mathematician reinvent the square wheel? Because he wanted to drive smoothly over an inverted catenary road...
(Actually, wheels in the shape of any regular polygon (except the triangle) would work, provided the dimensions of the polygon matches the parameters of the catenary road. But this joke has completely gone out of hand, and, as my pet parrot would say, "polygon to sleep from too many obscure math jokes"!)
The joke thread still has a hook though
Oho! Admission! ...
