Therefore it is probably interacting with other packages installed such that memory is set up "just so" and it either works or crashes. But people have been actively working on the problem very recently. But working on it isn't the same as actually having found the problem. The root cause has been elusive. The best workaround is to stick at version 14 for now. If you have already updated then using --no-sandbox is a workaround allowing it to function with all of the bad things associated with not having the sandbox between tabs. But no other browser has that sandbox between tabs so if you are comfortable running, say, epiphany then you should be comfortable running chromium without it too. It would be better if it were understood and fixed but no one has been able to get to root cause of the bug yet. Bob
