Some of our users wanted Chrome instead of Firefox so we installed Chromium from EPEL for them. Over the time, we had several problems where a build didn't work and also updates were not in time. We also had problems where some people were able to run chromium while others were unable to launch it with their profile, even on the same host.
We solved the issue by removing chromium completely and told our users that Firefox has to be used :-)
Is there a reason to still be trying to use chromium, rather than chrome? Later releases of chrome didn't work with centos-6, hence chromium, but c-6 is now EOL. My experience is that chrome (from the google repository) works fine with centos-7.

You are right and I installed chrome from the google repository. Worked fine out of the box. I proceeded to move (1) Session Buddy, (2) bookmarks from chromium to chrome which also went fine. Prior to that I had installed the very same extensions I had been using on chromium to chrome.
One thing remains: I would also like to move my entire browsing history from chromium to chrome but am not sure which physical files I need to copy? There does not seem to be a function for exporting browsing history to another browser but I would love to be corrected.

Further progress - found an extension that allows me to export history, up to 90 days which is the maximum chrome/chromium stores, into a json file from chromium. But, I am still searching for a way to /import/ it into chrome. Have not found an extension for that yet, nor does there seem to be a setting for importing history, only bookmarks.
