Address bar freezing in Chrome/Edge randomly

Post by r_rachuri »

Hi,

Currently I am running mint 20.2. While browsing internet on Chrome/Edge, the address bar freezes suddenly and I am not able to type anything in it. Only when I close all tabs and reopen the broswer, it's getting back to normal.

Please let me know if there is any work around for this issue.

Thanks in advance!

I don't use Chrome or Edge, but here are some ideas which may enable others to help you ...

-- Post the output of inxi -Fxxxrz, between "code" tags (it's the </> button on the post composer) so that it appears like this: [code]your output goes here[/code]

-- Does this behavior exhibit itself with other browsers? e.g., Chromium; Firefox; etc. Or just Chrome and Edge?

-- Are you you running the browsers natively? Or are you sandboxing them?

-- Is it truly random, or does it occur under certain situations? e.g., watching videos; many tabs open; tabs/browser open for an extended time; certain websites; etc.

-- Did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the affected browsers?

--The happening is truly random, sometimes it works fine and suddenly the problem appears. Only thing that works is reopening the browser by closing all tabs.

--Yes, I did try to uninstall & reinstall, but unfortunately same issue crops up after some time.

Noting that the three are based on Chromium, which admittedly may be coincidental, but it could be interesting to see if the same behavior occurs with otherwise. e.g., Firefox.

Also, others may want to know if you're using any extensions/ plugins.

Never tried using Firefox, so I cannot comment on the same.

On Chrome I use few extensions like Adguard, Bitwarden, Pocket. On Edge I don't use any.
