Description Nicola Mingotti 2018-03-19 10:37:56 UTC

I am running FreeBSD-11.1, and latest Chromium package 
chromium-64.0.3282.186_1

I am running with chromium with:
/usr/local/bin/chrome --disable-gpu

Respect to the previous package release this chromium hangs
very often. But, there is a page in which the hangs ratio
has remained very high, that is web.whatsapp.com.

It hangs often in both these cases:

1] When I open the page.

2] When the page was already open and running, then I move 
to other tabs or chromium windows, when I come back to whatsapp
tab it is stuck. I must kill it and try to reload. 

Bye
Nicola

Sorry, I made a mistake and I don't find the way to correct
the original message.

I wanted to say that this version of Chromium hangs RARELY
IN GENERAL compared to the previous package version.

But, it still hangs FREQUENTLY on whatsapp page.

bye
Nicola

Another duplicate of https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212812 ?

Comment 3 Nicola Mingotti 2018-03-20 07:35:40 UTC

No, it is not the same IMHO.

If it is true that Chromium hangs 10% of times with regular pages
then it hangs at least 60% of times in web.whatsapp.com.

It hangs quite frequently also if you open a GoolgeSheet,
but still, not comparable with web.whatsapp.com wich is absolutely
whe worst case I found, and the page is almost un-usable.


Bye
Nicola

Comment 4 Nicola Mingotti 2018-03-20 07:55:52 UTC

Anyway, I just applied "Tomo Method" from the other thread 
(https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=212812)

1] disable v8 caching 
2] shutdown chromium
3] remove ~/.cache/chromium
4] restart chromium 

... By the end of day I can say something.

Comment 5 Nicola Mingotti 2018-03-20 17:26:05 UTC

After applying "Tomo Method" and a full day of use 
I can state that:

1] The hanging frequency was drastically reduced in general,
i would say the problem almost disappeared. 

2] In web.whatsapp.com website the hang frequency reduced
sensibly but still remains, it hanged a couple of times once
the application was already started.
To have the application working I had to load/kill the page 4-5 times.

Comment 6 Nicola Mingotti 2018-03-21 08:55:59 UTC

With "Tomo Method" on.

Today Whatapp hanged and it was impossible to restart it ! 
Kill the tab, kill the windows, kill chromioum and restart => No effect.

The only way to restart whatsapp web was 
1] kill chromium
2] rm -rf ~/.cache/chromium
2] restart chromium
