Unable to properly run chrome or brave with linux-browser-installer

I am not sure if this is the right category, or the right place so if it is, I apologize.

I can install and get chrome or brave to start with linux-browser-installer. However, once it opens, it is completely unusable. It is extremely laggy and then eventually crashes. I am not sureif I have a setting somewhere missing, or missing a graphics driver.

Here are the relevant logs

Is there any more information that I can give that may be helpful?
Thank you in advance.
 
gotcha. that would make sense. i am curious if I am the only one or if others are using it just fine with 14.
 
Very similar issues, also on 14, have never tried w/ other versions and somewhat new to FreeBSD in general. Have you come by a resolution yet?

I will add that mine seems to operature lag free for a few minutes, till something triggers the lagginess (and I guess the GPU errors? don't remember), eventually something will cause the whole thing to crash. When I relaunch the same process continues again. I tried turning off hardware acceleration in the settings, but then I recall it crashing so quick I couldn't even make to settings to turn it back on!

Haven't tried playing with commandline flags like --disable-gpu yet

EDIT:
After playing around for a bit, I've identified that tooltips on the Chrome interface itself is one of the strongest triggers. If I can avoid those, things seem to run fine.
 
FreeBSD's Linuxulator will never be "perfect" (Linux and its typical userland being quickly moving targets doesn't help either).

Sure, running a Linux browser should be possible, and individual issues will probably get fixed eventually, but still, a native browser is always preferred.

That said, what's your reason for running a Linux browser? If it's about "widevine" (THE #1 reason until recently), we have an alternative meanwhile, see www/linux-widevine-cdm and www/foreign-cdm for a much better solution running only widevine (plus a little communication adapter) with Linuxulator.
 
Thanks, totally understand that, and that's useful for info about widevine. However, I'd like to use a Chromium-based browser to use certain extensions only available for it. I prefer Chrome, despite being proprietary, for sync support. However, I'm looking into Chromium w/ some kind of bookmark sync extension as a compromise, or if I can get some of the hacks to get sync working on it.

NB: the tooltips and popups on the Chrome UI really are the issue. Literally if I can avoid them, Chrome's running fine. Going to see if they can be turned off or I can find out what the underlying issue is. If I do I'll report back here.

That is really it, just widevine. Some sites will not play media without it. I will check into the alternatives you showed. Thank you!
 
Hello,

I had problems with crhome crashes on all versions of chrome higher than 124.0.6367.207 .
I tested it also on the latest edge install with linux-browser-installer.
What I found is that on /compat/ubuntu/bin/chrome script the line :
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/steam-utils/lib64/fakeudev
is causing the crashes on my setup.
The same goes for the edge (the script is on /compat/ubuntu/bin/edge)
I just commented this line and everything works just fine.
I am not 100% sure if the fakeudev option is still needed(as the export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/steam-utils/lib64/webfix/webfix.so and export LIBGL_DRI3_DISABLE=1 lines) but chrome and edge are running without problems by commenting this line on this file.
Hope this solves your problem.
The alternative is to downgrade to an older version of chrome that does not crash with all the security problems it may cause

Thanks for the response. I just tried this on a fresh installation of 14.1-RELEASE and I still had the same problem. I am still wondering what I am doing wrong.
On the plus side, thank you zirias@ , I did enable widevine in chromium and it is working well.
