I confirm the above error messages. Could it be webkit-related? My two workstations are both running current. From some point in january or february, xombrero started to crash regularly especially when visiting sites that rely heavily on javascript, most notably Facebook. (Regularly as in every 30 minutes or so, and regardless whether being used for surfing or just staying open while I'm using other programs. I'm such a fan of xombrero that I use it anyway.) However, during the last three or four months, Chromium has been solid as rock. That is until I installed a snapshot from a few days ago. From then on (the last three of four days) xombrero has been a little more stable while chromium has become totally useless. It shows "the sad tab" on most url's and following Googles advice on deleting the .config/chromium/Default directory, did not help.) I'm not very technical, so please bear over with me. I can provide info if told exactly what to do. (My machines are old with slow cpu's but with descent disks and memory.)
