Hi all,

I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. My phone (S21 FE) frequently crashes while reading any page on Geekzone. It begins by freezing, then the screen going black and then turning on, on my lock screen. Sometimes it freezes and I get errors like "Google play store has stopped responding" and "modes and routines has stopped responding". This now happens almost every time I visit Geekzone on my phone.

Before making this post it happened twice in 30s! (Which is a first)

I am on Chrome 111.0.5563.116 right now.

No issues on the same version of Chrome, S10+.

How many tabs do you have open?

Does this happen in incognito mode?

I'm using the same version of Chrome (111.0.5563.116) as you are.
No problems on a Galaxy a53 with Geekzone.
Browser cache full?

uninstall and reinstall chrome maybe?

 

Try firefox or samsung browser to see if its more to do with the phone than chrome.

 

Ad blockers installed?

 

 

 

If you phone has secure folder, turn that on, install chrome in it and see if it does it still.

You could also try resetting the chrome flags and clearing the app cache before uninstalling and reinstalling.

@freitasm well, that didn't take very long! Crashed again. I have 10 tabs open right now. What else should I try? Different browser?
