Could you please show how to disable print preview as the browser always crashes when trying to print a webpage, on mac osx 10.7.5.
If this is indeed the cause of the crash, you can run:
defaults write org.chromium.Chromium DisablePrintPreview -bool true
in the Terminal and then restart Chromium to disable Chromium's print preview. (Note: this will cause Chromium to say it is "managed by your organization". This is just what happens when you set policies via the Terminal; no one can see your browsing history.)

thank you for your quick help,
greatly appreciated, and it worked.
please show also on how to ddisable the key confidential request at the start, as i choose "deny" and would like to keep it so.
from chromium-legacy.
I don't think you can choose Deny without it asking again. Note, "Chromium Safe Storage" is an application password created by Chromium for its own use, there's really no reason to deny access. (But good on you for being vigilant!)

As of build 986492, Chromium's print preview does not cause Chromium to crash on OS X Lion, so I think this issue has been fixed. If it's working for you too @mrkapqa, you should be able to close this issue.
That said, if the Chromium print dialog ever causes issues again in the future, I'd personally recommend just disabling it for everyone. It's an unnecessary anti-feature.

thanks again,
i have Version 98.0.4758.109 (Official Build) (x86_64)
and noticed that the Preview is no more enabled by default? hence it would not crash?
on Firefox, it used to be that the way to "enable" print preview was by clicking on the toolbar button, and cmd + P would instead just open the print dialogue, without print preview.
a quite elegant approach, once you get aware of it (print is normally not in the toolbar, so one has to customize it first to see the "hidden" feature of print preview")
on chromium, however, the print preview seemed active since long, and never had problems with it, but i have to admit that i dont use it regularly;
if i had to choose, i would prefer to have it enabled, unless, it causes crashes, of course.
dont know if this is now supposed to be disabled by default, if yes,iwill check later again enabling it manually, and see if it still crashes or not, cause i ilike the feature and do a lot of pdf-printing; firefox is still my preferred browser, although i have to admit that chromium is better at rendering webpages for pdf printing, and quite by a margin; will see how this evolves.

ah well, i think on osx there is not even a print preview on firefox for mac, at least not on 10.7.5, just checked.
maybe then on newer versions like firefox 91 esr or similar

Hi, sorry for the late.
I haven't experienced crashes on print previews on 10.7 with both canary and stable builds.
Do you have crash logs?
from chromium-legacy.
hey,sorry,
i had upgraded to mavericks,
would consider this case closed.
thanks for the tip, might come in handy.
from chromium-legacy.
only remaining is ,
now i dont have print preview anymore (neither on lion had it, nor on mavericks 10.9.1 am currently on).
please show the proper way to enable it, thanks!
from chromium-legacy.
If you disabled Chromium's print dialog via the defaults write
command I posted previously, you have to undo that:
defaults delete org.chromium.Chromium DisablePrintPreview
from chromium-legacy.
thanks, dont know what happened, but after re-installing the OS X,
now on 10.9.5, the Print Preview on CHromium Legacy on my computer is gone;
i had disabled it in the previous installation, but on the new installation it never materialized, which is bit strange.
the print windows looks like this
from chromium-legacy.
Huh. I don't know why that's happening, but fwiw, you can expand the "PDF" drop-down and click "Open PDF in Preview" in order to see a preview. (This is why I've never liked the Chromium dialog anyway; this functionality already exists in the OS, and the native version can be integrated with other Mac features such as Automator.)
from chromium-legacy.
it seems the line above
defaults write org.chromium.Chromium DisablePrintPreview -bool true
persisted through several new-installations (on the same Mac), which is quite telling.
now, after againevoking defaults delete org.chromium.Chromium DisablePrintPreview
on a new insllation of Mac OS Mountain lion it would finally restore it; withouth it, every chromium-legacy i tr (from releases, or via downloader.pane) would always just show the normal osx printing window;
