I'm running chromium-61.0.3163.100 from packages, OpenBSD 6.2 release amd64.

No crashes, no issues.

I've just tried Iridium, from UX it's basically Chromium from 6.1 -
gtk2, none of that dreadfull new design - whoever thought that it was a

The i386 package of Chrome on 6.1 was slow, but reliable (once you got
it started, as it crashed often when launched, as referenced in this
thread).  On 6.2 (both x86 arches), Chrome is even slower (because of
GTK+ 3.x, I suppose) and completely unusable for me on i386, as said.
Iridium on 6.2, on both arches, seems to be on par with Chrome from 6.1
(it's also built against GTK 2.x and perhaps a couple of versions ahead
of it).

For what it's worth, this is a reverse of a trend, up to 6.1 Chrome was
getting more and more usable with every release on i386 (I think I've
started using it in 5.8).  Not complaining, the writing is on the wall
for this arch.  Just trying to get what life is left in some old but
still usable hardware, fighting consumerism along the way.

Iridium is based on Chromium, isn't it slow on an i386 too?

I actually would rather see Pale Moon or GTK+2 Chromium (as a separate
package/flavour).

They would have to wait for 6.3 or follow -current.

Had these intermittent Chrome start-up crashes since at least OpenBSD
6.0, but now they seem to be gone with the latest package from -current
(brazenly installed on 6.2, as suggested on ports@).  Also an issue for
Iridium (crashes about every 5 launches).

By the way, on i386 Chrome has become unusable for me after updating to
6.2 (extensions crash on start, only simple pages such as openbsd.org
load, but the rendering process associated with the tab still crashes
after a few seconds).

Also, netsurf on i386 crashes every time for me with 6.2, even with no
saved settings.  The errors look similar:

netsurf-gtk(18043) in free(): use after free 0x831b7420

Will look into using sendbug(1) for the first time.



If anyone wonders if there's still a usable (possibly full-blown)
browser for i386, I'm running SeaMonkey and Iridium (the latter for some
web apps, such as Google Music).  Firefox has got too bloated,
especially since 52.x builds (starting with 6.1) use multiple processes
and GTK+ 3.x.

In the end, a plea to the awesome maintainer(s) of the most usable
Chromium BSD port: please consider Chrome/Iridium binary updates for
-stable, as the amazing Landry Breuil builds for Firefox and Thunderbird
since 6.1.  Not sure many people know about these third-party updates,
more at http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170425173917.

Shoutouts to the wonderful people of M:Tier too, I use their binary
updates as well!  Sadly, -current on amd64 is not an option for me, as I
use OpenBSD for work too and need to run a custom Python runtime, only
built for -release.  And using -current on i386 (for my home router / AP
/ multimedia station) is too painful…

Thanks for the great releases!  ;-]

I installed the current snapshot package (chromium-61.0.3163.100p1.tgz) 
and it solved the problem! Now I can use chrome again...


As this snapshot package will soon disappear for new ones with 
incompatible dependences, I think that it would be VERY useful for A LOT 
of people that this package be put in the official download sites.


Thank you

I've also seen the problem like this, in fact it may be somewhat
tricky sometimes to start chome at all. I've not reported since this
is not desktop but server and chrome usage there is just exceptional
case. If you are on desktop and you care about chrome health, it would
be good if you obtain backtrace of the crash by installing egdb from
ports and then egdb   -- on prompt do:
bt and hit enter. And please send it here. Thanks!

Chrome crashes with 6.2

launch Chrome it crashes (with a "use after free").
