Chromium and Vivaldi crashes with profile loss, maybe because of my file system?

Issues & Assistance Unsupported Software (AUR & Other)
1

I am getting chrashes with warnings from chromium and vivaldi @ start because of not enough space on my
machine.
How ever my partition looks good:

image1280Ɨ720 24.2 KB

on the other hand, I can not explain my /etc/fstab, never seen such a structure.
Is this the problem, somehow?

UUID=abc635d5-1685-46a2-a42b-cab98134eab9 /              btrfs subvol=/@,defaults,noatime,compress=zstd,discard=async,ssd 0 0

tmpfs        /tmp           tmpfs   defaults,noatime,mode=1777 0 0

Do you see any connection with insufficient free space warnings and ( to me ) my unusual fstab?

sorry, here my inxi posted above ...

also like to add that after that crash my chromium and vivaldi .config profile turn into that:

leaving me with an empty / new profile

I see you have updated but not rebooted.
Of course, if this was an old behaviour this is not the problem.
No real idea from my side, sorry.
Just the usual good practices: remove unnecessary snapshots, reboot and perform a btrfs balance. But I'm sure this is application specific.
Maybe give a look here to store the cache somewhere else...

you brought me to the right point, I looked and reckoned there I somehow have installed
browser-pass for chromium and vivaldi, so after removal the
crashes are gone, thanks again ā€¦

The symlink is due to profile-sync-daemon, which we use by default. It stores the browser profile in RAM. The tmpfs might have been filled up by that, you can try disabling psd via systemctl --user disable --now psd to see if that improves things.

yes, you were right, what benefit or task is brought by PSD ?
Just for me to understand.....

It helps by keeping some of the browser profile in RAM instead of constantly writing everything to the disk. This speeds up the browser, and can help reduce writes to the disk as well. Profile-sync-daemon - ArchWiki
