The problem seems to be related to Chrome apps (Google Chat for example) automatically starting. In my case, I uninstalled Google Chat and that fixed the problem.
Essentially, if a Chrome app starts before the browser itself, that's when the problem happens. So for example, if you have your browser and chat running already, shutting both of them completely also solves the problem. Note, I'm on X, haven't checked to see if this happens on Wayland also. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1970148 Title: Brave & Chrome browsers freezes on download and print to pdf Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Whenever any file is downloaded, the browser will freeze.
