Package: chromium
Version: 74.0.3729.108-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders average web browser use impossible

Hello,

On a recent upgrade to Chromium 74.0.3729.108-1, any attempts to open a
new instance of the browser (via the app launcher or by clicking an
external link) hang for several seconds before crashing the previous
Chromium instance and opening a new window. This causes work to be
potentially lost.

Downgrading to version 73.0.3683.75-1 in testing makes the problem go away.

I can reproduce this with two systems, one running the NVIDIA binary
driver (version 418.56-2 in unstable) and another running an Intel iGPU.
Based on the command line output I've seen, I think the graphics setup
might be related?

On my NVIDIA system, running chromium from the terminal gives this:

$ chromium
[17554:17554:0427/125307.938566:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(335)]
vaInitialize failed: unknown libva error

Then I tried to install vdpau-va-driver and got this instead:
