Once again, I again ended up with a mix of 126/129 packages when I downgraded chromium-browser. There's a lot of output from apt as it declares what it's going to do but I haven't tried to sort it.
As for log2ram, I think it likely did extend the working life of RPi systems running out of low-capacity uSD cards but these days low-capacity cards are hard to come by. 32GB and above seems to hit the sweet spot in pricing. I suspect the internal wear-leveling techniques suffice. But that's just me. I still haven't had a memory card fail in service (not that I have borked one of two through stupidity. There's still no protection against that!)

Log2ram setting is ok in new r912 image but not updated in the in-place update.
I tested on fresh r912 yesterday and the procedure worked fine.
Code:
sudo apt update
sudo apt-mark unhold chromium chromium-browser chromium-common chromium-sandbox rpi-chromium-mods
sudo apt -y install chromium-browser=126.0.6478.164-rpt1 chromium-browser-l10n=126.0.6478.164-rpt1 chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra=126.0.6478.164-rpt1 --allow-downgrades --allow-change-held-packages
sudo apt -y purge chromium chromium-common chromium-sandbox rpi-chromium-mods
sudo apt -y autoremove
sudo reboot
