How are you starting chromium?

Have you tried starting it from a command line to see if it prints any usefull
error messages?

I always start it from the console with the command "chromium". I have
never used it any other way.

Sample of the console output, hundreds of lines not shown from a
3-second run.

Just updated my kernel to 6.2.12

Dmesg output has:

Unfortunately since any number of libraries may have been loaded into
chromium during program load, I cannot narrow it down to a specific
executable image. =\

Googling that error message produces several threads that suggest
removing ~/.config/google-chrome to see if that helps. Or just create
a new user and see if it fails similarly for that user.

Others report similar problems cause by incompatible versions of the
icu library or by particular behaviors of systemd-resolved.

Does google-chrome have similar problems?
