I usually get an application-crashed information in the systray, but
due to apport bug #1058376, no crash report ever gets send to
Launchpad.
This does not seem to depend on the website being looked at. It
appears randomly and is not reproducible when watching the same
website again. It seems to happen only when leaving one page / loading
another, but never when the page is already loaded. Sometimes Chromium
does not crash, but freezes instead and has to be killed.
It happens only since a few weeks (maybe 1-2 months at max), so it
could be caused by an update to some library. Chromium was also
updated during that timeframe: chromium-browser:i386
(18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1,
20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1), from /var/log/apt/history.log.
I downgraded to a version archived on Launchpad [1], which does not
show the bug.
