Just an FYI, this can be worked around by disabling the media router extension.
1) Start chromium on the command line with: chromium-browser --disable-extensions 2) Navigate to chrome://flags 3) Search for "media router" and set it to "Disabled" I have tested 59.0.3071.109-0ubuntu0.16.04.1289 on two systems, but only one seems to exhibit the crash. 1) Intel i7-4770, Ubuntu 14.04.5 fully up-to-date, wired network: Does NOT exhibit the crash. 2) Intel Celeron N2840, Ubuntu 16.04.2 fully up-to-date, wireless network: DOES exhibit the crash. Resolved with the above workaround. System #2 will even exhibit the crash while running with --temp-profile. I think it is related to wireless network scan updates and probably caused by a function parameter order-of-execution assumption that relies on side-effects (SEI CERT EXP50-CPP) as described in https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=409318.
