It's not easily possible to install extensions with ungoogled-chromium,
apart from the two that are available directly through Guix. If the
user goes out of their way to install extensions, such as using a
browser from a different distro, there is little we can do.
Mixing browser profiles between the vanilla and ungoogled Chromium is
not a supported use case. Warranty void.
I'd accept a patch that warns or refuses to use a "tainted" browser
profile, or changes the default browser profile directory so it does not
conflict with vanilla.
But I'm inclined to close this as "not-a-bug" for now. WDYT, Jorge?
