Just tell me where in Chromium to disable resetting user profile when it detects tampering - so I am able to migrate a profile just by copying and I will move to Chromium in a second.

The not being able to copy your profile between machines is terrible terrible decision. It detects "tampering" and nukes everything :(

I've not personally used this, but it should work for your use case.

http://www.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#Roaming...

(note that the 'roaming location' could still just be a folder on your local drive.)

> If you enable this setting, the settings stored in Google Chrome profiles like bookmarks, autofill data, passwords, etc. will also be written to a file stored in the Roaming user profile folder or a location specified by the Administrator through the Google Chrome policy.
