In synaptic, I clicked on "open web site" button of a package.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Olivier Tilloy (osomon)]

Closing now as this report wasn’t investigated timely and is now too old to be meaningful.
Please do not hesitate to report crashes occurring with recent releases of chromium-browser, they will hopefully be investigated and acted upon in a more timely manner.
