Hi there,

Just update **Chromium ****83.0.4103.97-lp151.2.96.1|x86_64 **suddenly Chromium repetitively crash or fail to load pages such as Youtube.
Then downgrade using **sudo zypper install --oldpackage chromium=81.0.4044.138-lp151.2.88.1 **and everthing is back to normal.

Beware of changes made to your list of repos. chromium-81.0.4044.138-lp152.1.2 is what you get with default list:

No that is not correct. We are talking 15.1 here:

It fails with me too.

This is a frivolous update of Leap 15.1.

#5

Yast installed it as a security update from the 15.1 main update repo. Mine is broken also. 83.0.4103.106-lp151.2.101.1
Back-tracking to the older version is a workaround, but why remove a security patch?

#6

I can confirm bad behaviour of Chromium. It is useless since last update.
Loading of most pages ends with some error message.
I had to transfer to Firefox.

#7

It should be fixed with the next update.
