Chromium is the open source version of chrome while without a flash player. The point is, their profiles are totally compatible with each other.

The chromium browser storage its user-specific profile(config files, plugins, bookmarks, histories and so on) under ~/.config/chromium/.

The chrome browser storage its user-specific profile(config files, plugins, bookmarks, histories and so on) under ~/.config/google-chrome/(if using an beta or unstable version, the name might be something like ~/.config/google-chrome-beta/).

The point is, by simply moving around the contents, users can move around all their configurations and data in the browser.

Also, creating a symbolic link called chromium pointed to the google-chrome or the reverse allows the two browser to share the same config file.
