Android Users: Are you experiencing multiple unexplained app crashes today?
Here is the solution that worked for me:

^ This isn't the first time Android System Web View has borked things, IIRC.
The other solution listed in the thread which I did not try is to uninstall all updates for Chrome and disable the app. (My Chrome was already disabled.)
@voltronic The textra notice is what clued me in. Of course, if I was paying attention to CoSo, I would have known sooner. Lesson learned. NEVER LOOK AWAY FROM CoSo.
My troubles started in the middle of reading the exchange about this between @voltronic and @ecksmc this morning so I had the fix in front of me exactly when I needed it!
@misterfive @voltronic @ecksmc you did not look away from CoSo. That was my error. I looked away. 😉

I wasn't using the CoSo app, but I tried it on a hunch that something screwy was going on with web integrations. It turns out that the nature of that app makes it a good canary in a coal mine for this bug.
