Bug Description

** Description
For awhile now I just find my chromium just closes and is gone. It’s been at least the last two updates (I get the nag screen on my screen telling me an update is available; I tend to ignore it but reboot my box every ~fortnight so it’ll update at least once per fortnight as I ensure it’s upgraded before I load it after reboot).
It’s ~10:40 local time, and I’ve lost the chromium snap at least twice today… no clues as to why, just I get to see my wallpaper on that part of my monitor as the window silently disappears.
On re-opening I get a ‘closed ; do you want to restore you tabs’ dialog (something like that anyway) which works, but my box has been up ~13 days, and it was giving me trouble before this reboot as I hoped that reboot would help; alas no; neither last update(s).
If I was to guess how long, I'd guess 20-30 days if not more; ie. I'm basing that on two ~14 day reboot cycles... I can't recall if started during the last cycle or just prior to my second-last reboot ~28 days ago
As I file this bug; it's now ~23:15 and whilst I mentioned it'd closed twice prior to ~10:40 (I turn box on ~07:30), I'm pretty sure the window has not closed since I posted on the community hub. I'm not usually using the window when it closes; though its closed ~twice whilst I'm using it.
** Limited details sorry
I'm not very specific here sorry, I'd file it as 'incomplete', but I don't know how/where to get details. As a snap there is nothing in /var/crash; so as an aside; is there somewhere I can look for clues as to why etc. (like the .crash file in /var/crash, even if I can only understand bits of it)
My box is slow (2009 dell desktop)... and I've got in the habit of keeping a terminal open with `htop` running so I can detect if `firefox` (deb package still) or `chromium` are losing RAM.. I've concluded (rightly/wrongly) it's extension related; but if I recognize extensive swapping I look at the `htop` window and if either browser is using a load more RAM than usual & swap size is growing, I tend to close browser, wait for OS to recover the RAM, then re-open.. I've NOT been doing this with chromium of late; so I wondered if it's started crashing where I'd normally notice a slowing box & switch to my htop window, then close the window down... HOWEVER it could also be the regular crashing means the 'ram bleed' issue isn't getting bad enough for the thrashing to become a problem; it's usually only a problem after 2-4 days.. I'm convinced the issue (what I call 'ram bleed') is related to extensions, as the issue didn't occur with no extensions being used; but I prefer having privacy badger/ublock running
- google docs offline
- privacy badger
- ublock origin
- startpage (this was only ~recently added; not this one)
FYI: I use same extensions with firefox too (except no startpage), and issue is the same; ~same frequency too (2-4 days)
Anyway; if you can tell me if it'd be helpful to get/keep certain details; I'll do it, as I realize I'm not giving much.
