@osomon The issue seems to be unrelated to whether you are online or offline.

I can get the issue to disappear and reappear with the following actions though:

Run "chromium-browser" in terminal
..error appears. Close chromium again.

Run "chromium-browser --disable-extensions" in terminal
..no error. Close chromium again.

Run chromium-browser
..no error. Close chromium again.

Run chromium-browser
..no error. Close chromium again.

Run chromium-browser
..no error. Close chromium again.

(..tried up to 8 times)

Run chromium-browser
..no error.
Open a webpage like https://heise.de/newsticker.
..Page loads. Close chromium again.

Run chromium-browser
..The error appears.

I have run the above cycle several times and this works reliably. Have disabled my extensions; at first some, finally all of them, but that has no impact on reproducibility. Only deviation: sometimes you have to open more than one website and close the browser to find the error reappearing upon next start.

Let me know when I can contribute more information.
