[Bug]: Chrome loses Profiles after upgrade

[trashcoder]

Prerequisites

• [x] I have written a descriptive issue title.
• [x] I have searched all issues/PRs to ensure it has not already been reported or fixed.
• [x] I have verified that I am using the latest version of Scoop and corresponding bucket.

Package Name

googlechrome

Expected/Current Behaviour

When upgrading Google Chrome it loses my Configuration and Profiles. I have to reconfigure it after every upgrade.

Perhaps the updater doesn't install the newer version over the older one or doesn't copy the profiles folder to the new folder?

Steps to Reproduce

when a new version of chrome has been published

scoop update googlechrome

then start chrome. It behaves like a complete new installation.

Possible Solution

• Install upgrade into same installed folder
• Make a hard link to a separate Profiles folder to hold it even after upgrading
• copy profiles folder from old to new installation

Since #13853 merged, Scoop does not persists 'User Data'(i.e. Profile). But it should not cause data loss, the profile stores in default location now.
