Can you run these commands manually and post the output:

xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/https
cd /mnt/disk/archivebox/archive/1596881575
chromium-browser --headless --timeout=60000 --print-to-pdf 'https://example.com'
chromium-browser --headless --timeout=60000 --print-to-pdf=output.pdf 'https://example.com'

I was also getting the 'multiple tabs' error with that same chromium snap version. It impacted screenshots and DOM dumps too.

Updating to edge fixed it for me.
sudo snap refresh --edge chromium

Since this can be fixed by upgrading chromium, I'm going to close it here. Thanks for reporting this and posting the link to the fix!
