Dennis Schridde, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better. However, your crash report is missing. Please follow these instructions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retracer. First, execute at a terminal:
cd /var/crash && sudo rm * ; sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y upgrade && sudo apt-get -y install chromium-browser-dbg && sudo service apport start force_start=1

If you are running the Ubuntu Stable Release you might need to enable
apport in /etc/default/apport and restart.

Now reproduce the crash, then open your file manager, navigate to your /var/crash directory and open the crash report you wish to submit.
If this fails you will have to open a terminal and file your report with 'ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash' where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report. If you get an error that you aren't allowed to access this report you will have to file it with 'sudo ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash'. If you run the command against the crash report and a window pops up asking you to report this, but then never opens a new report, you would be affected by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/994921 . In order to WORKAROUND this, one would need to open the following file via a command line:
gksudo gedit /etc/apport/crashdb.conf

and comment out the line:
'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

by changing it to:
# 'problem_types': ['Bug', 'Package'],

Save, close, and try to file the crash report again via:
ubuntu-bug /var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash

I'm closing this bug report since the process outlined above will
automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more
efficiently.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  chromium-browser: general protection (fault)

Bug description:
  chromium-browser crashes very often on my system, leaving the following in dmesg (excerpt):

  I usually get an application-crashed information in the systray, but
  due to apport bug #1058376, no crash report ever gets send to
  Launchpad.

  This does not seem to depend on the website being looked at. It
  appears randomly and is not reproducible when watching the same
  website again. It seems to happen only when leaving one page / loading
  another, but never when the page is already loaded. Sometimes Chromium
  does not crash, but freezes instead and has to be killed.

  It happens only since a few weeks (maybe 1-2 months at max), so it
  could be caused by an update to some library. Chromium was also
  updated during that timeframe: chromium-browser:i386
  (18.0.1025.168~r134367-0ubuntu0.12.04.1,
  20.0.1132.47~r144678-0ubuntu0.12.04.1), from /var/log/apt/history.log.
  I downgraded to a version archived on Launchpad [1], which does not
  show the bug.
