All Chromium based browsers are grinding my system to a halt, Firefox is OK - any one else seeing this?

Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
I saw it in recent 18.x releases in wheezy, when I had a lot of tabs open and had been browsing for a while.
It seems to have cleared up with the latest dev build (19.0).

No issues with the stable Chrome release.

Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
I don't think it will matter, but when I said "wheezy" up there, I meant UP3.
Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
It is was working fine. Upgrade to the new stable 17.nn.nnn.nn, that is when my machine really started to lock up, high disk usage, totally unusable, couldn't do anything. Dropped back to 16.0.912.75, recreated the hidden folder in my ~/home. Ran a bit better, but still locks up.
So far the unstable 19.0.1041.0 dev has only locked up once.
Firefox is fine, it was my browser of choice until early 2009, but I am so used to chrome/chromium based browsers, I was shocked how much I didn't like it anymore! I have become a Google borg

Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
If your desktop's not completely frozen, shift+esc will bring up Chrome's task manager, so you can see if a particular tab or extension (process) is chewing up your resources.
Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
Cheers, but the machine is totally unusable when it happens. New problem with the dev build, if the screensaver kicks in, chrome goes full screen and the only way to get out of it is to kill it (F11 does not work).
Don't know if this is cinnamon related, will boot into Gnome3 later on to test.

Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
Probably not cinnamon related as I'm seeing this with the default Gnome 3. Very annoying. Only way I can get out of it is to close all tabs on the maximized window. You can't even detach the tabs.xircon wrote:Cheers, but the machine is totally unusable when it happens.

Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
Grrrrr now firefox is playing up. Cannot scroll pages. Oh well Opera then.
Edit - Dropped back to FF11, working again, but sometimes pages are not displaying, will grab a screenshot when it happens again, because the page is "there" just not displaying - weird.

Re: Problems with Chrome/Chromium/Iron
Potential fix from the Debian forum (don't know how I missed this - doh, but have been working a lot of shifts ):

Downgrade libcairo2 - Working well at the moment, I have rejoined the Google Borg.
