I'm told it's this bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1164975 and it's related to haveing an old QtWebEngine + new glibc Fix here: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtwebengine-chromium/+/374232 I think the QtWebEngine package just needs to be updated, but I'll leave it up to the experts. I attached a screenshot showing the issue on a github page. You can temporarily get around the issue with special launch options (including not using your usual settings) qutebrowser --temp-basedir --qt-flag disable-seccomp-filter-sandbox
