Two shortcuts for the installed chromium appeared

I installed Chromium using sudo snap install chromium and later upgraded it using sudo snap refresh chromium. I noticed that two shortcuts appeared in the menu. How can I resolve this issue?

I moved the topic into snap category. Snapd does not fix snaps.

The other icon seems to be for something called chromium daemon, though I do not have a clear idea of what that is. It’s probably best to contact the publisher, they provide a link to do so:

$ snap info chromium |grep contact
contact:   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bugs?field.tag=snap

There was some discussion about this in February.

I believe the resolution was to set NoDisplay=true in the desktop file for the daemon; can you @dingrenwu2005 check the file to see if this happened? If it hasn’t, that may well fix it. If it has, we have something else to do… @kenvandine @nteodosio

Also please share the operating system (lsb_release -a) and desktop environment being used. Maybe this was fixed in Ubuntu’s Gnome but not in other desktop environments.
