I was using Chromium from the Unstable branch for a while. And then it would stop updating and say it was being “held back”. I installed the update manually and it broke the system. Why does it have so many dependencies all of a sudden?

Debian sid is in the middle of a transition to 64 bit timestamps on 32 bit architectures. This requires a bump in all packages and an inconsistent repository is to be expected during this migration. Don’t use dist-upgrade and always carefully read what apt is about to do.
See: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2024/02/msg00005.html and https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2024/03/msg00092.html
