Chromium No Longer Start After Recent Updates

I regularly do pacman -Syu. Yesterday, Chromium just stopped starting after the update. If I start it from a terminal, cursor just hangs there, no errors, nothing it shows. Here is what I get when I try to start it:

Re: Chromium No Longer Start After Recent Updates

There may be something in ~/.config/chromium that Chromium doesn't like.  Try moving it out of the way:

mv ~/.config/chromium{,.bak$(date +%F)}

And try to launch Chromium again.  If that works, it is likely some extension which is causing it.  I'd start adding extensions back one by one, completely closing and relaunching Chromium between extensions.
