minus-squarehansolo@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up36·edit-223 hours agoWhew - all the things I’m missing having switched to Linux a couple years ago. But now I had a new bug: Chrome would randomly lock up for about 30 seconds when a video was playing First - I can’t believe people still use Chrome. Second - Chrome has done shit like this for 10 years. Homeboy here is a classic example of a frog boiling slowly. Glad he made it out.

Vivaldi amd Brave both run on that, plus Edge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium_(web_browser)
