Netowork issues after upgrading chromium from v122 to v126

[Sebastian Onofrei]

Hello guys,

On my recent attempt to upgrade to most recent release of chromium-code, after building the code, when trying to run it i have the following error:

[13360:493708:0630/094030.237:ERROR:gpu_process_host.cc(1002)] GPU process exited unexpectedly: exit_code=31
[13360:493708:0630/094030.237:WARNING:gpu_process_host.cc(1436)] The GPU process has crashed 9 time(s)
[13360:493708:0630/094030.237:FATAL:gpu_data_manager_impl_private.cc(449)] GPU process isn't usable. Goodbye.

In my opinion, it is obvious to me that the GPU has nothing to do with this, most probably something else crashes the client-process.

Investigating more, i noticed network errors like the following:

extension_downloader.cc(757)] Failed to fetch manifest

OR

ERROR:network_service_instance_impl.cc(600)] Network service crashed, restarting service.

Current chromium branch is version 126. My previous successful maintained branch was version 122.

What could be the reason for this network issues? Did something in requirements changed significantly that could have caused this?

Many thanks
