Bug Description

Nothing really. Just get popups that the chromium browser is closing when I start it, so I reported this. Using the 17.04 and fully updated as on Thursday 27th July 2017.

Thanks. Great OS, great tools. Will never use Windows anymore.

If so, can you try the following command in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall chromium-browser
