[solved] blink-based web browsers content crashes

Hi. Yesterday after upgrade on my home computer with Arch as main system I had a problem with Opera. After some while on page I had white screen with error "Something was't right. There was a problem with this page. Try again." (or something like that, I have polish language installed and don't know how it will be exactly in English). Trying with min browser and got the same. Browser don't crash, just the page content. I try than on SeaMonkey and it looks it works fine. Looks like it's blink-based browsers problem because on gecko-based it works. Today in my office where I installed Arch on VM for testing got same issue.

There is a known issue with the new glibc and the blink engine (see: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=252706 ) should be fixed in chromium from what I can tell, not sure when/if it'll be fixed in opera

Thanks I downgraded glibc to 2.30-3 on VM and it looks like it is solution for now. After that min browser works perfect. Later try it on home computer.

I can confirm that downgrading glibc to 2.30-3 is the solution. Opera with newer version of glibc is not usable.

Ok, on my home computer solution works to, but on this I should downgrade lib32-glibc as well. Btw found nice site with old packages versions: http://archlinux.arkena.net/archive/packages/

No need to downgrade, for Opera start with this command in terminal and it works fine till a new version comes opera --disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox

You basically disable the sandbox with that, for a random stuff facing application like a browser I'd argue that's the worse course of action in this instance

This is the recommendation at the Opera forum till a update is released or better to use an alternate browser. From what I hear even the Chromium with update is having issues, on my system when I use Chromium it lags on certain sites. The other way and safer is to use Firejail.
