Package: chromium
Version: 61.0.3163.100-1~deb9u1
In recent versions the flag --media-router=0 introduced with fix for bug
#833477 is no longer valid and the old chromecast plugin is not usable
in any case.
If the flag load media router component extension is enabled, and
compatible devices are located on the LAN, it produces a crash shortly
after startup with no useful backtrace. To work around, one must start
without extensions, or with the LAN connection disabled and disable the
media router component extension. Of course, then media router cannot be
used. The issue appears to be the same as in the linked Ubuntu bug
report, which also includes a fix:
