Bug Description

After about a day of use (or more accurately, after about half a day of non-use) my browser reports "aw snap: SIGTRAP" on every new page. Old pages still render, but a reload causes the "aw snap!"

It happens on both my Ubuntu 20.04 workstations. It is not hardware on either one, I'd think. Other stuff like: "is the disk full" seem like likely candidates, but... two different machines, same behaviour!

--
the gritty details:

1) Both machines report:
Description: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS
Release: 20.04

2) One machine reports:

% dpkg -l chromium-browser
ii chromium-browser 1:85.0.4183.83-0ubuntu0.20.04.2 amd64 Transitional package - chro>

the other says: dpkg-query: no packages found matching chromium-browser

3) I expect to be able to continue to work with my browser even after I've been away for 8 hours (sleep, you know).

4) all new pages display "aw snap!" instead.

FYI: I pasted the command into a window that happened to be ssh-ed into the other machine (where i'm not at). So it said it would open a browser window. So I VNC to the other machine, and... I get a browser in a normal window (slow) over the ssh. So I authenticate as requested. and then:

Package chromium-browser not installed and no hook available, ignoring

great.

So then I did it again on the other machine and after authenticating I got the "collecting information .... " (moving progress indicator). After ten minutes I decided to abort that.... but saw:

Authenticating as: ... (wolff)
Password:

in the window that I had pasted the apport-collect into. So I type my password. and get:

==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===

Shit happens, I occasionally make a typo in my password. Could've happened. So second time I try again, checking capslock and typing carefully..... and:

==== AUTHENTICATION FAILED ===

Then saying "F*** it" I continue with my day and find 38 Emails in my inbox about stuff added to this bugreport. Turns out it DID work each time it said "auth failed". Sigh.

I have this exact same issue and I've had it for half a year now. A few times a week when I wake up my machine in the morning when I arrive at work I try to launch a new tab and I see the sigtrap. And all the other tabs still looks like they did when i left, but as soon as I refresh I'm seeing sigtrap.

That's very likely caused by the chromium snap being updated in the background while running, causing all sorts of misbehaviours. This is bug #1616650, and as a mitigation I suggest enabling the experimental.refresh-app-awareness flag, as described in https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/wip-refresh-app-awareness/10736.
