older chromebook users

have you ever noticed after almost every chrome os update things keep crashing

i use a lot of PWAs for sites and after every update over past year all PWAs crash when i'm inside chrome doing other things

open the task manager and "end process" for google assistant utility worker < even though i have assistant switched OFF via settings that process always starts up after i switch chromebook of/on again

the crashes still happen but not as often and they seem to ease/stop the more as i use my chromebook after each update

it's a pain in the arse

i updated ChromeOS yesterday and noticed some PWAs using 90% CPU also some have even jumped past 100% CPU

i am keeping an eye on this

posted this article the other day

try putting this into the right thread this time lol

update:

still seeing a high CPU usage for PWAs

CoSo PWA is jumping between 25% to 80%

it just hit 100+

right now if i have more than one PWA open my chromebook crashes ALL PWAs - chrome tabs also crash

yesterday i was also seeing/getting a pop-up at top of my PWAs the "unresponsive" alert thingy

PWAs should only use a lil more CPU usage than normal tabs inside chrome use

chrome tabs only use between 10-20% depending on what site is open inside a tab

CoSo usually uses 25% to 35% from previous checks i have done although it's something i haven't really kept an eye on before
