For some reason, while I was browsing the chrome web store (and about 9 other tabs), the browser got frozen (the window got darker, meaning it was processing). I also had just put my google-password in the preferences to sync everything on chrome.

I have an intel i3, and I never had problems with performance, so I think it's not a hardware issue.

I started it in incognito mode, on the terminal, but it still get frozen after about 3 seconds. The output was:

$ chromium-browser --incognito

I'm on Firefox now. [update: I'm on Chrome now. The problem is only with Chromium]

Any idea what's wrong here?

This has been fixed in Chromium build >= 104421 or Chrome version >= 15: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91962#c36

Consider a) using a ppa:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chromium-daily/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

..or b) use the proposed repository in ubuntu

..or c) the evil workaround (comment #31 or #32): http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=91962#c31

Looks like the only solution is switch to Google Chrome, what I did, and everything is fine now.
