I think popular applications should be included with OS reliability because in your day to day these are the tools you use.
I've been using a MBP (2020 Intel) for work (work issued laptop) for about a week full time and if I leave Chrome open for more than a day every tab will crash even if I only have a few tabs open. Opening a new tab results in the "Aw, Snap!" crashed tab page with the unhappy face until I fully close Chrome then it works like normal. The only extensions I use are uBlock Origin and LastPass.
It happens frequently. The system isn't stressed in the slightest too in terms of CPU or memory usage. Does this happen for anyone else? It's running the latest Big Sur.
This hasn't happened to me ever on Windows or Linux after years of hardcore usage.

- evilduck 5y agoNope, I have the last 16" Intel MBP and Chrome chugs along just fine for days and weeks on end. I pretty much only close it for Chrome prompted app updates or macOS prompted system updates. edit: It might be worth purging your Chrome files out of the various ~/Library locations.
