I had a similar issue and removing Chromium's config directory solved
it for me. Try to temporarily (re)move it:

mv ~/.config/chromium ~/.config/chromium.bak

Now, try to start Chromium and see if you can set it as default. If it
works for you, then remove chromium.bak from ~/.config. You might want
to make sure you have everything synced first.

  What to do now?
