This is really a migration issue, could be that some of the Chromium paths have changed in Ubuntu 20.

I suspect this is because Chromium is installed as a snap/flatpak or some other new package format (an existing bug) but to confirm can you attach the contents of chrome://version/ from Chromium?

Thanks, the screenshot confirms that it's a Snap so this is a duplicate of bug 1467094
