I’m only here for another 25mins today, don’t have access to the machine till Monday I’m afraid, but will check here over the weekend, just don’t have the machine to test on.
Thanks. If that was the setting being used to determine the font for web content rendering, it should be found as it is in the snap. I’ll have to keep digging. Can you share a screenshot of that page as rendered by the chromium snap: chrome://settings/fonts ?
Good timing, just about to shut the machine down. Hope that is helpful, as I’ve said… this isn’t an issue for me, but nice to see how things work, will try and build my own snap next week.

When I start chromium from the snap under a Wayland session I see a chromium process running but no window appears. There is no error message. It works normally under the Xorg session.
I have been using it for the whole day and it looks ok, no problem encountered. The only thing is that if you open a PDF in Chromium and then decide to save it, you have to search for your home/folder directory as you are, by default, in the snap folder.
Doesn’t work for me.

Thanks for all the good feedback everyone. I am aware that the snap is not working for everyone yet, there are issues to be investigated and addressed, however it does work for a number of people in various configurations, so it doesn’t make sense to hold it off any longer, especially since the stable version for upstream chromium is now at 62. I have therefore promoted the snap from candidate to stable, and a build of version 62.0.3202.62 is underway, which I hope will hit the candidate channel early next week (a separate call for testing will be issued then).
Keep up the testing and the feedback!
I can reproduce the Chromium icon issue. Here’s is a screnshot showing it. Also, it takes a couple of minutes to load fhe first time after a reboot.
Another thing I’ve noticed is that Chromium cannot set or check if it’s the default browser.
Thank you, @Ads20000. So, there’s no solution yet for this problem,
according to the links you provided 
It’s a minor problem, though.
You can however set chromium from the snap as your default browser applications in gnome-control-center:
gnome-control-center default-appsThe icon issue should be fixed in the candidate channel, please see the call for testing (and report there whether this works for you).
