Hi, Can you open a bug please? Our testing worked to some degree at least. Ciao, Marcus On Mon, May 13, 2024 at 10:37:43AM +0000, Werner LEMBERG wrote:

Folks,

what is going on with the recent Chromium update for Leap 15.5? It was a big jump:

122.0.6261.128-bp155.2.75.1 -> 124.0.6367.201-bp155.2.78.1

(from the 'Update repository of openSUSE Backports') and the new version is at the border of being completely unusable! Many tabs ether crash very quickly, or don't react, even for such innocuous pages like the German Wikipedia. Is it only me who experiences this? For me it was necessary to revert to the previous version.

I wouldn't have expected that users of Leap 15.5 are treated as guinea pigs – this should be the priviledge of the Tumbleweed people :-)

having exactly the same stuff, on simple 15.5, updated the chromium via zypper today to latest 124.something Very simple stuff I only do inside chromium, surf gmail.com being in there it crashes every now and then browsing through the endless list of mails in e.g. the spam folder (reading the spams) the about:crashes (chromium equivalent) shows the crashes and I could user-quested submit (buttons) there but at the same time in grey light lettering it shows that chromium bugreporting or crashreporting? has been disabled and links to some sources of chromium project or such. no technical details visible about the crashes to me (compared to firefox about:crashes stuff that gets listed inside those objects before you click and arrive on the actual crashreporting pages at mozilla). I only used gmail (and main google.com to navigate there) and nothing else and it crashed maybe six times alltogether within few ten minutes today. thanks for fixing. ty.
