The new update of Chromium (76.0.3809.87-1) crashes extensions on start up: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933598 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=933598)
The only work around suggested so far is to downgrade: if you have the testing repositories enabled, you can simply
apt remove chromium chromium-common
apt install chromium=76.0.3809.71-1 chromium-common=76.0.3809.71-1

Sorry to say, but the only workaround that makes sense in this case in my book is using Chrome.
-
I beg to differ !!!!
FIREFOX
:P :P :P

For my job I need hundreds of open tabs. I need them secured and I need them to be restored reliably through restarts of the browser and reboots of the machine. Firefox does not play ball here reliably.
-
Guess it always depends on what you need.
I love my little paranoia setup:
Firefox - for my standard websites (only handpicked cookies allowed / everything else blocked)
Chromium - for finding new stuff (everything deleted and reset at exiting the browser)
Falkon - play around and find out if I can get rid of chromium

@devil, please try firefox 70 and the real firefox not a debian one, restored session I have never had a problem with, right now I have 124 tabs open, I have a old machine

It seems that the new version (76.0.3809.87-2) fixes the problem. (At least no crashes for me so far.) I will mark it solved.
@devil: I will second piper. Firefox has been running really well! (Although I do use Debian's package.) If you haven't given it a try in a while, it might be worth a try now...
