I shut off all extensions. Still does it, no change. No problem with other browsers so I'll just leave it at that. Thanks for trying to help.

Hi donaldduck.
Same problem. On version 36 everything works fine. This is due from version 37-38 to changes in the bookmarks sidebar. If you turn off the bookmarks sidebar, then the switch to YouTube full screen mode works well.
Also, if in the "Preferences" file, delete the lines:

Code: Select all

"autofill":{"last_version_deduped":38,"orphan_rows_removed":true,
that will also work, but only until you turn on the bookmarks sidebar.

Thanks slim_jtd for the tip about closing the bookmark sidebar. It works!

When watching movies or Youtube in full screen mode Slimjet 38.0.4.0 constantly crashes.
The problem has been dragging on since November 2022, other browsers have no problems.

Only the developers can answer this, as a temporary solution an alternative extension may work for you: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta ... e-ntp-icon.
By the way, this extension is highly customizable, but the downside is that the panel cannot be kept open all the time; when you open a new page, you need to open panel it again.

I think the biggest problem with this bug is that it only happens on some computers, other users are not affected by this bug.
So it is difficult for the developer to detect the origin of the bug!
