Chromium Problems on Raspberry Pi OS After Update

After updating my Raspberry Pi OS on my Raspberry Pi 4, I now find that YouTube and YouTubeMusic on Chromium both cause the browser to crash. The Chromium browser is a far cry from the Chrome browser. The former has multiple deficiencies and this latest disaster is further proof of this. Firefox has no such problems so I have been using that browser to launch both programs.

The solution however, proved simple enough following a recommendation from an online forum. Simply reinstall Chromium! A logical enough first step in troubleshooting software problems. Overall the Raspberry Pi 4 that I bought earlier in the year is working well enough for what I need to do. I recently purchases an M1 MacBook Pro 14" for my granddaughter who needed a computer for her University studies. I'd much prefer to be using that of course.

Such a computer does not come cheap however, and in terms of value for money, the Pi wins hands down. The Bluetooth still doesn't work but I have my wired earbuds working despite the inexplicable lack of a direct earphone jack (see earlier post).
