▲ 1 r/chrome
For the past several weeks, I've observed this annoying behavior in Google Chrome: a new tab page would freeze and prevent me from typing for several seconds.
At first I thought it was the number of tabs that I have open (a couple of dozen), but closing them did not fix the problem.
Today, I decided to watch what happens closely and caught a connection between the "Continue with these tabs" widget loading and the unfreezing. As soon as the widget shows up, the URL bar and the UI unfreeze.
As soon as I disabled the widget (https://i.imgur.com/xYbQEoQ.png), the new tab freeze has immediately disappeared.
This widget needs to stop blocking the UI thread.
I filed the bug here https://issues.chromium.org/issues/508682206.
Do you have this problem?

Has Linode released an updated patched kernel for this vulnerability? What about its own host systems, are they patched? Word on the screet is container escape is possible with this vulnerability too.
