browser frequently crashing with trap int3

[Gerald Gilbert-Thorple]

I used to be able to have many tabs open with Chromium without problems. Lately it crashes or gives "aw snap" errors (see kernel messages below) if I start to keep more than 25 or so open.

Thanks for the report Gerald, and sorry for the lack of a timely response.
Is this still happening with the latest update available for Ubuntu 16.04 (version 86.0.4240.75-0ubuntu0.16.04.1)?

[Jim Cline (jcline-physics)]

thanks, I will try with the updated version and keep you posted

the new version of Chromium seems to be a disaster when I try to go to
full screen in YouTube. It scatters parts of the screen amongst my
various virtual desktops and creates a huge mess, forcing me to kill
chromium from the command line.

Jim, I'm sorry to read that fullscreen video playback isn't working well for you. Would you mind filing a separate bug for this, ideally with a screenshot or screencast demonstrating the problem?

[Expired for chromium-browser (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

[Fevrin (fevrin)]

Just to note, the kernel trap int3 issue persists for me, even in the latest Chromium release for Ubuntu 20.04.1, Version 88.0.4324.96 (Official Build) snap (64-bit).

Here's my kernel info:

My workaround is to close chromium frequently (closing its x-window rather
than normal exit from the browser) and restart it, in order to save all my
open tabs. This seems to release the excess memory and CPU that is being
hogged by this atrocious piece of software.

Getting those traps as well, don't know if it is because of the snap usage or chromium:

I've switched to firefox, that solved the problem!

Same issue on an amdgpu laptop. This is even happening on chromium when disabling the gpu... As if the disabling gpu code does not work. There is loads of this output in about:gpu
