I'm running chromium on Ubuntu 20.04:
Version info: 133.0.6943.53 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)

it deletes my custom search engines after exiting the browser, which previous versions didn't do.

Came across this bug on my home computers (but not on VM). Current solution is switch to deb-version or Chrome. Bug report is here.

Had the same issue. A work-around is to define the Site Searches via a Chrome managed policy (instead of going through the UI). I added a managed_policies.json like so:

{
    "SiteSearchSettings": [
        {
            "featured": true,
            "name": "Google",
            "shortcut": "g",
            "url": "https://www.google.com/search?q={searchTerms}"
        },
        {
            "name": "YouTube",
            "shortcut": "y",
            "url": "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query={searchTerms}"
        }
    ]
}

in /var/snap/chromium/current/policies/managed (for the snap build as per this answer, s. other possible default policy locations in that thread).
