These members center on the browser.use_real_profile setting on macOS while Chrome is running, where one issue reports a launch hang tied to a sqlite backup of Login Data / Web Data. The other two items appear to propose related changes, such as bounding the auth backup with a raw-copy fallback and a cookies-only copy or fresh-browser fallback.
