Author: yuri Date: Tue Mar 20 02:46:15 2018 New Revision: 465058 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/ports/465058 Log: www/chromium: Workaround description for the hanging tabs problem Thanks to the solution suggested by Dmitri Goutnik, I am amending pkg-message with the workaround for the hanging tabs problem. Putting ~/.cache/chromium on memory-fs solved the problem for me. Now chromium doesn't hang even on a heavily loaded machine.
