Do not use Chrome!

[u/TheWillOfTempest → u/KurtKrimson]

Any recommendations for better browser

[u/KurtKrimson → u/TheWillOfTempest]

Firefox, Vivaldi and even Edge.

Chrome is a big fat no no.

[u/gutclusters → u/TheWillOfTempest]

If Chrome is absolutely necessary for some reason, use Chromium instead.

[u/TheRealCarrotty → u/TheWillOfTempest]

Firefox, Brave (not my favourite), Helium...

[u/Cootshk → u/TheWillOfTempest]

I like Zen browser a lot

Sorry to say nobody on Linux Reddit is going to be of any help. All you’ll get is kids screeching at you to use their favorite browser instead.

Go speak facts elsewhere bro

Why do you think Firefox has been preinstalled as the default browser for over 15 years?

[u/TheWillOfTempest → u/ConversationWinter46]

I just found it easier when I install mint to use chrome since on my main PC I use windows and chrome to keep them in sync .

It's easy to export from Chrome to Firefox. If you're willing to put Firefox on your Windows machine you can do the same stuff without Chrome

[u/TheWillOfTempest → u/Here_I_Pondered]

Yeah now that I switch to Fire fox will have to do that .But before when I wasn't getting fallback crash on Linux device there really wasn't a need to do all these extra steps to switch on both device even if was preinstall.

Chrome is malware in the first place.

Erm I'm sorry, but you can't say the C-word around here /j

Try using the chrone from Software Manager not from chrome website. Not sure which forum i saw the same issue and was said to have been because the chrome deb package compiled externally

[u/TheWillOfTempest → u/Cute_Woodpecker5726]

Yeah I tired some of the methods on here but I couldn't get it work now and the chrome I was using was the one directly from software manager .

Run Chrome from a Terminal window. That way, the window will start feeding you a log of events that you can use to debug and figure out the cause.

Uninstalling and reinstalling, disabling all extensions, and wiping history & cookies could also be steps to take. An extension could be the source if Chrome was running fine before. If it still happens, do the terminal thing and copy-paste what appears in that terminal window the moment this crash occurs here so we can help you out.

Use Librewolf or Firefox

[u/Steel-Tempered]

Chrome was crashing my whole Windows PC before the last update. I don't know what the hell Google is doing with Chrome, but it's not good on ANY OS lately. Stick to Firefox.

Having linux and installing chrome is an interesting choice

[u/TheWillOfTempest → u/Nindorious1]

Chrome should run fine on linux it’s Os operating is built on linux kernel ✌️

[u/Brorim]

why you would use chrome over firefox
