Extremely slow google-chrome since last update

Hello,
My default web browser is google-chrome and since the last update which included:

libopenssl1_1-32bit-1.1.0i-lp151.8.3.1.x86_64
libopenssl1_1-1.1.0i-lp151.8.3.1.x86_64

the chrome is excruciatingly slow. It seems to apply to LEAP 15.0 and LEAP 15.1 machines. It is particularly slow when trying to access the settings, or a new tab. I am not quite sure what’s going on. The terminal output is the following:

~> google-chrome
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
(google-chrome-unstable:4505): Gtk-WARNING **: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:10777:44: Expected a valid selector

I would appreciate any input.
Thank you for your time.

I’m not using “chrome” so I can’t comment specifically on that.

I see Gtk warnings in logs. They don’t seem to cause any problems. But I suppose that depends on the software.

For those “MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1” messages, I suggest:

  1. Logout from your desktop
  2. Use CTRL-ALT-F1 to get to a command line session
  3. Login (as yourself) at the command line.
  4. rm $HOME/.Xauthority
  5. logout from command line session
  6. CTRL-AT-F7 to get back to graphic login screen
  7. Login to your desktop

No guarantees, but this seems to stop those messages for me. It seems that there are incompatibilities between different display managers and different opensuse releases, and the complaint is about some exist entry in “.Xauthority”. So the idea is to remove that file while you are not logged into a graphic session. The file will be regenerated on the next login, but without any stale incompatible entries.

Just as a closure. Upon a fresh install /home included, I found that one of the packages that I need conflicts with google-chrome, and I wasn’t able to identify it exactly. Since I need the computer anyways, for the time being migrated over to Firefox. I’ll let google team handle this.
