Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
Hardware Acceleration IS enabled on all my rigs, and they ALL freeze with every browser except for Firefox & Slimjet.
Go figure.

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
One possible reason can be found from a new "Freeze feature"

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
Well, I'm using Slimjet until further notice. No freezes and I have found I like it a lot and does what I need to be done.

Chromium Version 79.0.3945.79 (Official Build) Built on Ubuntu , running on LinuxMint 18.1 (64-bit)
Still have freezing of browser and sometimes computer.
acceleration on or off doesn't matter
disabled their new tab freeze feature made no difference
No updates showing in update manager.
Anywhere else to get the update mentioned?
Firefox is still flawless.

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
Lucky you.
I am on Chromium and it just froze up again. Sometimes it lasts for a few seconds and sometimes I have to reboot.

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Chrome is freezing even with less than 3 tabs open. Badly.
A quick memory check shows it is taking nearly all 4 GB of my desktop install.
It's not quite as bad here on the laptop... version 79.0.3945.130 here, I'll check the one on the desktop next time I'm on it.

There has to be a fix other than finding a way to downgrade.

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
very interesting. I opened numerous youtube videos while using incognito and had no issues with freezing...
the question is... why?
UPDATE: Still freezing.

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
79.0.3945.130 seems to be better at the freezes, though not perfect.

Re: Chrome Freezing After Recent System Update
The freezing still persists.
If they can't figure this out, I am seriously considering dumping Chrome (even as invested as I am in their ecosystem) and moving to Firefox. (From what I read here, the freezing problem affects all Chromium-based browsers.)
I haven't been able to figure out how to successfully move my stored Chrome passwords to Firefox, so that hasn't happened yet.
