Well chrome/chromium both use lots of ram and file handlers intentionally. Pre caching page loads and a few other things. Extra threads so that (in theory) one page bites it the other process should still be just fine. On Jun 1, 2015 11:14 PM, "Michael Butash" wrote: > I'm pretty abusive on my sy

That could be, I've suspected the same, I just find no suitable way to debug one from another to find which. Even systracing chrome yielded no real results, it seems its just coming apart internally. I'll start disabling extensions and playing with it to see. My worst issue seems to be upgra

now that you mention the '... snap...' error message when I was running Chromium that did happen frequently. It still happens with Chrom but that is infrequently. On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 11:28 PM, Michael Butash wrote: > As I say this, chromium starts pooping the bed again with constant "aww > sn

As I say this, chromium starts pooping the bed again with constant "aww snap!" messages. I'd love to snap a google software engineer's neck (and I use the term loosely) for this error. I have yet to ever find a useful way of finding out what is causing them, their "help" is akin to windows st

I wonder if some of these addons are the real problem. I run no addons what so ever and my Chome and Chromium are rock solid. The most I see is very rarely I see something about flash crashing, but that's probably less than once a week. I also tend to leave browser windows open for weeks at

I'm pretty abusive on my system as I do what I consider well more than most with it, but honestly, I don't see it should be an issue with the latest i7 proc and loaded with memory, if they build it to scale properly. Mine simply works, until it comes unglued, which seems to be more and more of

I've found 2 things that Chrome has that Chromium doesn't. Chrome ships with a current version of flash built in which chromium doesn't have at all, unless you pull the flash out of a version of Chrome which can be easily done. Chrome also ships with the necessary DRM libraries that allow you

Michael, Chrome never crashes on me. I used chromium before and it too never crashed. Maybe I don't do as intensive things as you. (I don't know if 'never' is as accurate as 'very rarely'. On Mon, Jun 1, 2015 at 7:42 PM, Michael Butash wrote: > I do this often, mostly because either/or are so

I do this often, mostly because either/or are so unstable, general internet use tends to crash it pretty often. I use a voip service (switch.co), that I cannot have crash randomly with some stupid video that decides to blast flash stupidity or invasive script at it tends to. Therefore I insta

On my Linux Mint 17 system, the chromium browser was installed by default and it has seemed to work well for most things ... but I've been getting messages from Google that read: "This version of Chrome is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser." So is it safe and prudent to in
