It is not only you, it happens on pretty much all my installs.  It can
happen even if you pkg install something small and unrelated to
chromium.  Last week I was shocked when I ran pkg upgrade and it did NOT
cause chromium to crash; it had even replaced chromium itself!  I don't
think it crashes 100% of the time, but most.  I don't have time to debug
it.  Just in case it got fixed, be sure to test using the latest
chromium version from ports.
