And it doesn´t work together with apt-listbugs as it will remove it due to 
severity normal again¹.

So you are better off with:

merkaba:/etc/apt> cat preferences.d/chromium 
Explaination: Pinned manually
Explaination:   #845785: chromium crashes on certain websites
Package: chromium
Pin: version 53.0.2785.143-1
Pin-Priority: 1000
