Chromium Aw, Snap! Everything

Asked by Electric

I can't access anything in my Chromium browser. I get the "Aw, snap" message on every page I try to load, including the settings page etc. Any suggestions?

Starting Chromium from terminal gives me:

Using PPAPI flash.

Have you tried renaming the configuration folder for chromium (under ~/.config) as well as its cache folder(under ~/.cache)

After you have renamed the folders, launch the browser.

If you make a new user (or log in as Guest), is it OK?

Nope

If you run:

sudo apt-get --purge remove adobe-flashplugin
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Then rerun the browser, is it OK?

Have you tried reporting this upstream? https://chromiumbugs.appspot.com/

I've gotten lots of "Aw, snap!" on macOS 10.12.16 - not so much on Linux.

Can you help with this problem?
