Failed to load extension from: . Manifest file is missing or unreadable error when running Chromium instance with Selenium

Question

I use Selenium for UI tests. I want to run an instance of Chromium but when Chromium is opened I got a pop up with

"Failed to load extension from: . Manifest file is missing or unreadable".

Clicking ok closes the popup and leaves Chromium open with data;. in the address bar (screenshots https://ibb.co/Jj8McMC https://ibb.co/93hGkH7). However I am not trying to run Chrome instance with extensions, I don't need any.

from selenium import webdriver[![enter image description here][1]][1]

@pytest.fixture
def browser(config):
    driver = webdriver.Chrome()
    driver.implicitly_wait(10)
    yield driver
    driver.quit()

Chromium is freshly installed from Ubuntu Software Centre and this problem does not appear when I just open the browser. Could you help?

The error I receive from pytest is:

E selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited normally E
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist) E (The process started from chrome location /snap/bin/chromium is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
