Axios

I have chromium and firefox they freeze from time to time
thought it might be firefox so installed chromium and it freezes to
just locks screen up and computer does not respond no black screen or anything
reboot everything back to normal.
Always happens with browsers.

Axios Always happens with browsers.

Firefox and Chromium don't have anything in common except they're both browsers. It sounds like a timeout connecting to the web site you're trying to reach. Maybe wait a little longer to see if that's the case? Sometimes a connction timeout can seem like a long time. In the terminal,can you ping the site you're trying to reach?

Axios If the freezes are related to running out of memory than Firefox should be more gentle to the system starting with version 105 (which was added in the latest sync).

When browser freeze happened to me it took me weeks to remember to have System Monitor already open and some unidentified weirdness woud not stop spawning and eating space. killed the process. forget which one. maybe deleted stuff too.

when system froze with mouse and keys and clock and internet a while back once upon a time, that turned into 100% hardware issue (edit: hdd)

note if the clock freezes too before next hard boot. If so then its really a system freeze and not a browser freeze?

If the whole system freezes it will surely explain why in the logs, journalctl or system-monitor. That's the first place to dig.

First, try disabling hardware acceleration in your web browser.
