This is pretty much what I think. Can't vouch for it, of course. But the choking up to no reaction only happened yesterday. As usual, in the beginning I expected some tab to require lot of CPU time. Therefore, I use the widget shown in the image relatively frequently. And sometimes I close a demanding tab. So this belongs to my almost staple diet. Yesterday, again, I wanted to find out if I had en extremely demanding tab, when I noticed, to my surprise, that the CPU was hoovering around 2-5 percent. That was the first time I noticed. Closed Chrome, opened Chrome again, same. Logged off, logged in, same. Cold boot, same.
Attached you'll find the image of the resources with Firefox, only running application, after some 5 hours of running, some 20 tabs, the same that I use daily on Chrome. And it looks similar to what it used to look throughout the last years, using Chrome. And it looks like what one expects. ** Attachment added: "Normal resource use, as earlier and here with Firefox" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1983660/+attachment/5607144/+files/Screenshot_20220805_160001.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1983660 Title: Chromium seems to drive all data into swap, until choking Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: For the last day(s) my machine runs Chrome very very slow and sluggish until it stops reacting at all. I haven't done any changes except of the daily updates and snap refresh. What I found out, is that the memory space used is almost immediately the swap space. Same after cold boot: it starts pretty usual, but soon almost all memory data seem to be sent into swap space, despite of RAM being available. (See attachment, taken shortly before total non-reaction. CPU isn't very busy, RAM is aplenty.) Swappiness is okay at 60. I very much suspect Chrome, since when using Firefox, with my (in Chrome) usual sites, everything looks fine, it doesn't choke, and the swap space used is almost negligible.
