When adding a custom context menu to an SWT Browser, the context menu properly replaces the original/native one from the browser. However, when using the Chromium browser, custom context menus are not displayed.

The following error is reported when right-clicking in the browser (on Ubuntu):

> [1110/113414.348390:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(256)] GLib-GObject: g_object_set_data: assertion 'G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed

I've attached a small example project to easily reproduce the issue. It contributes a new Eclipse view (Other > Browser Menus). Depending on the values for the useChromium / useCustomMenu booleans, we can observe different behaviors:

- useCustomMenu = false: native browser menus work in both cases (Chromium / Default)
- useChromium = false: native and custom menus work
- useChromium = true: custom menus don't work

Note that opening the context menu from the keyboard seems to work; but using a right-click doesn't.

All this was tested on Eclipse 2020-09, on both Ubuntu and Windows.
