Just letting you know that I have added this good privacy-oriented browser to obcommunity (of course the -bin version). If anyone wants to test it, feedback would be always appreciated.

Hi wastelander,
since you communicated that you put ungoogled-chromium-bin to obcommunity I supose it was you who made the update these days.
Many thanks.
Unfortunately https://web.whatsapp.com makes chromium crash:
[4344:4356:0223/190453.586847:ERROR:ev_root_ca_metadata.cc(162)] Failed to decode OID: 0
Segmentation fault

PS: I've been using chromium from obcommunity as my main browser since beginning of February without any problems.

    Well, I'm not aware of any secrets stored.

    Thanks for the hint.
    Deleting these two directories solved the problem.
    Unfortunately, deleting just the cache is not enough.

    But I wanted to avoid to reinstall all my add-ons etc.
    So I restored the .config/chromium directory.
    Further googling I found the hint to just remove GCM Store
    https://github.com/ungoogled-software/ungoogled-chromium/issues/1312
    I found two of them -- Default/GCM Store/ and System Profile/GCM Store/.
    I removed both and web.whatsapp.com works now and all the rest seems to work as well

    You are welcome, glad that you found a solution. As a general advice, better to never mix UG with previous Chromium installations.

    I didn't reuse stuff from a previous Chromium installation.
    I just made an update.
