[Solved] Computer crashes when using apps that connect to the web

When I open any app that connects to the web, my computer crashes. Thunderbird works though and I can update my system, suggesting that the Internet works, it's just the web. When I reboot, the journalctl log doesn't show anything from when it crashed (I used sudo journalctl without any modifiers), and it says further on that the .journal file was corrupted.

Any ideas on how to proceed?

w3m - the terminal browser - seems to work

Reinstalling brave worked for it, and I'm hoping that if I don't open any other internet facing applications, the problem will go away (probably not)

Re: [Solved] Computer crashes when using apps that connect to the web

What is "the web"? Do you mean web browsers? Which?

Chances are misconfigured hostname and or conflicting network managers post the outputs of

hostnamectl
find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f
sudo journalctl -b

By the web, I mean that these didn't work: brave, librewolf, intellij idea - might connect to github, FTB minecraft launcher - connects to verify minecraft account, discord, and steam. Thunderbird worked.

I solved the problem by deleting .cache from my home directory. Not sure what the problem was though. Not sure how to mark this as solved.

Mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
