I don't know if the developers are aware of the problem, someone has reported it to the team Fedora? I haven't used Fedora for a long time so I don't even remember how to do it anymore... :)

So far it has not done that for me. If possible, could you please install gdb and collect more info when the app crashes and report it to Fedora team?
MauryG5:
Yes, I can do it but unfortunately I don't know the procedure to use it and provide the necessary information. I installed GDB but I have never used it and I don't know what procedure to follow. Meanwhile the updates continue and the problem persists in the same way...

Timothy P. has shared a new home for the patchset he's prepared for Debian at https://gitlab.solidsilicon.io/public-development/open-source/chromium/openpower-patches
This would be extremely useful for other Linux distributions
Tim also suggested a bimonthly catch up between maintainers of Chrome/V8 PPC64LE.

Fedora has adopted the patchset that Debian and other distros are using (https://gitlab.solidsilicon.io/public-development/open-source/chromium/openpower-patches). Great thanks to Than Ngo of RedHat, Timothy Pearson (Debian package maintainer)
Time to QA folks! So far it runs perfectly for me! No crash yet
MauryG5:
But from which day this? I did the last update last week and the defect continued to do the same. I also reported the problem 1 month ago to the Fedora team but they never responded...
