[code] the code is STATUS ACCESS VIOLATION, sometimes several tabs go down together. no new hardware, no new software that i know of. my antivirus updated itself recently but i have no idea if that matters 😤 anyone seen this pattern before?

been there man start by checking whether it's teh profile or the install 🔥 open chrome://version (works in every Chromium browser) to see your profile path, then create a brand new profile and load teh same page lmao If the new profile is stable, an extension or corrupted profile data is the problem. If it crashes there too, look at the system side. hope that helps :)
