Not just on this site but just about any of them. Chrome keeps crashing and wants me to reload the pages, which usually works. It started a couple of weeks ago and has been awful ever since. I’ve cleared cache and rebooted but it doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

If you haven’t installed any new extensions in that time that might cause misbehavior, I’d try uninstalling Chrome, then rebooting the device and reinstalling.

My issues with Chrome lately are around poor performance, but closing it and restarting usually fixes the problem. I think it has more to do with the number of tabs I leave open (17) and the amount of memory that takes. Rebooting my PC once a week also seems to help.

I tried this and initially it was _much worse_. My screen would flash black whenever I moved the mouse and it tried to do a mouseover. A quick google said to turn off hardware acceleration within the browser. After that it’s been flawless. Fingers crossed.
