Chrome 87 freezes with XFCE 4

Hi All,

I ran updates last night including systemd-sysv and systemd (version 229-4ubuntu21.29). Since then Google Chrome Version 87.0.4280.88 (Official Build) (64-bit) on XFCE 4.12.2 freezes constantly. I tried a Chrome re-install and removed all extensions, but alas, the freeze was almost instantaneous on any site. In case this happens to you... I went to Synaptic Package Manager and installed the beta version of Chrome which works a treat. Posting in the hope it saves someone a headache.

Big "thank you" to all who contribute to XFCE. It's about the only desktop environment I can handle to be honest.

Tom
