This is happening in the latest releases I though it was fixed in 51 but I just experienced the same. The odd thing is sometimes I don't even have many tabs open and just use "Open link in new tab" and chromium just sucks my ram and the system gets frozen. I'm using FreeBSD 11 Current. I've tried deleting the full local profile (.config/chromium) which at first seemed to help but its now doing the same at random times with random sites (although I think its with those that use JS heavily but that's just a hunch) I don't have the resources in this machine to compile chromium with DEBUG so I'm afraid I can send much details... maybe someone else can repro?
Version 52.0.2743.116 (64-bit) FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p1 #0 r306420: Thu Sep 29 01:43:23 UTC 2016 root@releng2.nyi.freebsd.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC Chromium sometimes hangs even if I try to open any web site. Suggests to kill the tab because it's unresponsive. Happens even on a local FreeBSD Handbook HTML.
I observe the same. 52.0.2743.116 is worse than the previous releases.
I had this on 11-CURRENT since ~forever. Sometimes it was ok, sometimes it just hung. I think uptime and fragmentation play a role here. Now on 11-STABLE and 58.0.3029.96 I can't even open a single tab, even with a clean profile.
(In reply to Ulrich Spoerlein from comment #3) Have you tried to disable V8 cache? https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212812#c24
I saw that bug shortly after and tried to disable the V8 cache. This _kinda_ worked in that afterwards about 30% of my about 20 tabs or so did indeed load (yay!), but after another Chrome restart it was back to every tab hanging. Then I bumped these values and rebooted: kern.ipc.shmseg=1024 kern.ipc.shmmni=1024 kern.ipc.semmns=1024 kern.ipc.semmni=128 This by itself didn't work either. Then I disabled 2D canvas acceleration (webgl accel has always been disabled). And *that* made all 20 tabs load upon startup ... but for new tabs is still a hit-and-miss and most of them are just spinning forever and/or I get the "unresponsive tab" popup.
same problem here with 11.0-RELEASE-p9 and 58.0.3029.110_2
