I have my own thoughts, and ...I am not impressed by this feature. What problems are lurking in the Chrome/Chromium browsers that they foist this kind of behavior back at the user. Your thoughts please! Tx, -- Tom
its just a user friendly webpage instead that dumb 404 not found press reload: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95669?hl=en
When a user gets 100's of "Aw, Snap!" occurrences throughout the day running Chromium - it is clear that there is a serious stability problem going on inside the Chromium browser when it tries to display a webpage - so, what's the problem(s) that Chromium has that Firefox never ever gets, eh? -- Tom
I use Chromium a lot on Ubuntu and rarely see the 'Aw, Snap!' page. I'm guessing your problem is localised to your platform.
+1 and please no comparisons to firefox - it wont help your issue. not sure if opera would show same, i never saw it here.
I am using the same version as you, Version 51.0.2704.79 on Ubuntu 12.04.05 LTS (32-bit). Have they abandoned 32-bit Chromium -- Tom
I have not seen this tab for years, so I would say, it is more related to bad extensions or settings or internet or whatever.
"Aw, Snap!" occurs when the process for a tab crashes. These needs to be reported to Chromium devs, even better if you can also submit a crash report. If starting Chromium from the command line, there could be a stack dump in the console, this also may help as part of the bug report.
Hi gorhill, Thx for replying! It looks like crash reporting is unavailable in Chromium. I found the web page Chromium/Debugging on the Ubuntu/Wiki at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Chromium/Debugging that looks like it will give me enough to go on for now and try to provide some debugging information to the developers. -- Tom
Well i think that if the "aw snap" page is occuring so frequently in your google chrome installation that it becomes unbearable and creates a huge issue for users then a change of browser may be in order.
One look at the bug reports issued for the Chromium-browser yield sufficient evidence that "Aw, Snap!" bug reports are very common. The best idea is to try an help with the eradication of the defects if at all possible. I do switch to Firefox to the extent that what I am working on can be accommodated until one or another extension interferes. Firefox has proven to be less annoying than Chromium, but not totally foolproof. -- Tom
