Had these intermittent Chrome start-up crashes since at least OpenBSD
6.0, but now they seem to be gone with the latest package from -current
(brazenly installed on 6.2, as suggested on ports@). Also an issue for
Iridium (crashes about every 5 launches).
By the way, on i386 Chrome has become unusable for me after updating to
6.2 (extensions crash on start, only simple pages such as openbsd.org
load, but the rendering process associated with the tab still crashes
after a few seconds).
Also, netsurf on i386 crashes every time for me with 6.2, even with no
saved settings. The errors look similar:
netsurf-gtk(18043) in free(): use after free 0x831b7420
Will look into using sendbug(1) for the first time.

If anyone wonders if there's still a usable (possibly full-blown)
browser for i386, I'm running SeaMonkey and Iridium (the latter for some
web apps, such as Google Music). Firefox has got too bloated,
especially since 52.x builds (starting with 6.1) use multiple processes
and GTK+ 3.x.
In the end, a plea to the awesome maintainer(s) of the most usable
Chromium BSD port: please consider Chrome/Iridium binary updates for
-stable, as the amazing Landry Breuil builds for Firefox and Thunderbird
since 6.1. Not sure many people know about these third-party updates,
more at http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20170425173917.
Shoutouts to the wonderful people of M:Tier too, I use their binary
updates as well! Sadly, -current on amd64 is not an option for me, as I
use OpenBSD for work too and need to run a custom Python runtime, only
built for -release. And using -current on i386 (for my home router / AP
/ multimedia station) is too painful…
Thanks for the great releases! ;-]
