Package: chromium
Version: 18.0.1025.168~r134367-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
looking through ~/.config, I noticed that ~/.config/chromium takes up
114MB on my system. A lot of those files don't look like configuration
files but data (extensions) or cache files (history index).
The worst offender space wise is the Default/ directory:

Please consider moving those files into proper locations as defined by
the XDG spec [1].
Cheers,
