Thorium exceeds file descriptors and starts to hang

• OS: CachyOS

Problem
I got a warning by Netdata, that thorium used up all available file descriptors. Previously it never exceeded around 30%.

At the same time I noticed hanging while opening Gmail and I restarted the browser after waiting a couple of seconds, and closing the tab and reopening it, with the same result: Page loads and then hangs when selecting a mail.

ulimit -n

Reports 1024 on my system.

I don't know if that's related, but I'm also getting the same kind of issue here, with my logs filled up with [ERROR:platform_shared_memory_region_posix.cc(214)] Creating shared memory in /dev/shm/.org.chromium.Chromium.xxxxxxx failed: Too many open files (24).
Thorium often randomly crashes because of it.

Looks like this is a symptom of #835 and the issue expanded to often having Gmail getting stuck as well as Google Drive.

The tab will become unresponsive and sometimes refuse to close. Closing and creating a new tab usually won't fix the issue. Restarting the browser often also doesn't fix the issue. Sometimes it goes away from it's own, sometimes it doesn't.

The same is happening on Reddit as well as in PDF documents opened in the browser.
