Thorium started to crash on Windows

[Katrekel]

Windows 10, Thorium M128.0.6613.189

I updated Thorium from 124 to 128 today. At first all was fine, but after I visited some Amazon and Goodreads pages, Thorium started to crash and now I cannot open it at all. Immediately after opening, it crashes. I suspect it's the fault of one of my extensions (I have a lot of them), because when I paste --disable-extensions in the shortcut properties, Thorium starts normally and won't crash. But how can I find out which extension it is and disable only that? I can't access my extensions when they're disabled, and I cannot access them when they're not disabled, because Thorium then immediately crashes. Several of those extensions are important to me and I don't want to use a browser with all of them permanently disabled. Please help.

Do you have any extensions installed that could affect sites like Amazon or Goodreads?

Also, are you using the experimental flags?

[Katrekel]

As I said, I have a lot of them, including Adblock and uBlock - those certainly could affect both Amazon and Goodreads. I also have some experimental flags enabled - one is sideways scrolling of the open tabs and another is the old Chrome UI (I'm posting this with Firefox, I can't check the exact names, as Thorium crashes immediately after opening).

I think the ad filtering extension may not be the culprit for the crash, but theoretically it is not recommended to install two ad filtering extensions at the same time.

Also, the tab scrolling flag has caused multiple crash reports.

If possible, could you upload a screenshot of the chrome://extensions page and the chrome://version page? I might be able to help you.

Please do the above when the --disable-extensions parameter is passed.

Well, I set both flags to default, but that didn't make any difference - Thorium still crashes. I took a screenshot of the version page, but the extension page is empty when extensions are disabled. Then I remembered I also have Thorium (the 124 version, not yet updated) on my other laptop, with the same extensions, and I took a screenshot of them. I've included both screenshots.

I think you need to create a new user data, then open the Thorium browser with the new user data, and then reinstall and configure your extensions one by one in the browser until you find the extension that causes the browser to crash.

In addition, installing multiple extensions that perform the same or similar functions can also cause browser instability.

I deleted the user data folder. As my extensions are backed up to my Google account, they installed automatically when I signed in again. Fortunately Thorium no longer crashed. I deleted a couple of duplicate ones and disabled the tab scrolling flag, just in case. So far, so good.

Apparently something had become corrupt in my user data. We'll see how it goes now.

Thank you for your help! I switched to Thorium after the recent changes in Chrome UI which made it pretty much unusable for me. Thorium is all I need.
