[Bug Report] Stadia crashes the browser in Chrome (Dev)

[bassforce86]

Chrome Version:  89.0.4343.0 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

Platform: Ubuntu (Pop OS)

stadia.google.com crashes the browser on load. It seems that it's got a memory leak and is trying to self-heal constantly. I've got a memory heap snapshot from the initial load attempt but unsure how to attach here.

Also Broken in Beta: 88.0.4324.27 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

It seems to be only after it's run as a PWA. 

Loading in the browser seems to be okay, until you try to install it. after that any subsequent runs / refreshes are broken. Both in browser and on the PWA.

Feels bad to say this... Have you tried reinstalling everything? 
If there is a memory leak, there seems to be an issue with the browser?
Do you meet the requirements?
And since there might be a little tweaking when it comes to Linux, have you looked at hardware encoding and such settings?
Try another browser?

Thanks for the suggestions, and yes I have tried reinstalling (not difficult in a linux env as i've got all my configs backed up). 

This seems to be an issue with Chrome versions. I'm going to run some tests on Windows later on today to see whether it's widespread or linux specific. 

If it's linux specific, i'll have a hunt through the flags, but it'd very likely be hardware acceleration that'll be causing it.

You could try another browser? Or have I missed out on the info that you already have done that?
But yeah. Trying the hardware decoding might solve the issue..

[bassforce86]

I hadn't. 

I've now tried on:

Brave & Brave Beta are both on v87 and work fine.
Vivaldi is on v86 which also works fine.

Edge Dev (only linux version available at the time of writing) is v88 and appears not to have this issue.

So it would seem it's definitely something Chrome related. I'll test a few flags and raise it with the Chromium team.

Somewhat painful that Edge v88 works, and Chrome v88 doesn't!
