I have been experiencing this issue for over a month now on 22.04. To make sure that things are ok, I downloaded a new .deb, uninstalled the old one and reinstalled Google Chrome.

But whenever I upload something, Google Chrome will freeze. It only goes away if I use System Monitor to kill the crashpad in the listing.

Not just Google Chrome, I am facing an identical issue with Vivaldi as well. But Firefox, which exists in the same machine works without any issues. I think Vivaldi is based on Chromium and hence the issue.

Also, the file uploads are successful when I check later.

I have dual boot Windows 10 where everything works fine. Any help will be great.

Edit 1:

From var/log/syslog

vivaldi-stable.desktop[10410]:
[10405:10405:1219/041714.220540:ERROR:CONSOLE(0)] "Uncaught (in

Edit 3:

Looks like the JS blocking extension in Opera was the root cause. Now Vivaldi is responding properly. But I am still having issues adding attachments to Gmail in Google Chrome

Edit 4:

The issue persists in full form. The latest from var/log/syslog for chrome after uninstalling Opera.

Edit 5:

I uninstalled Opera and uninstalled all extensions from Chrome and Vivaldi. The issue persists though.
