Here are two typical examples:
Javascript is disabled?
No, just checked that Javascript is allowed in the browser settings. When I load the browser and try to access eg nytimes.com I see "Establishing secure connection" in the bottom infobar and that's where it seems to get stuck.
I wonder if some other software was also updated and the new version of that not loaded until I had to reload the browser and is the root cause of the problem??

Continuing to research this and while googling - using Firefox since that does not work either for me right now - I found some mention of a temporary fix of changing proxy settings. I went to the Advanced/proxy settings in my chromium and get an error message:
--
When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
But you can still configure via the command line. Please see |man chromium-browser| for more information on flags and environment variables.

Very weird. I have not used a proxy on this computer but this might be the reason for my problem? Anyone else have had similar problem?
Some of our users wanted Chrome instead of Firefox so we installed Chromium from EPEL for them. Over the time, we had several problems where a build didn't work and also updates were not in time. We also had problems where some people were able to run chromium while others were unable to launch it with their profile, even on the same host.
We solved the issue by removing chromium completely and told our users that Firefox has to be used :-)

I understand but Firefox does not render all pages correctly as it seems to misinterpret css. And, it is always to have more than one browser installed as I have just discovered.
I found a work-around: launching chromium-browser from a terminal window with the argument --no-proxy-server. This launches the sites I listed in my post without any problems. It thus seems the proxy settings somehow have been messed up, perhaps one time when I unceremoniously killed the app from the command line...
I now need to find out how to reset the proxy settings in chromium since I am unable to access it from the settings menu in the browser.

Hm, It seems I am wrong on the above. I tried adding --no-proxy-server to the settings in my Mate menu and then start the browser - failure with the same problem as before. I then went back to the command line and just started it with chromium-browser, without the --no-proxy-server argument and it starts fine.
So, it seems to have something to do with starting it from the desktop vs the terminal window.
Weird. Ideas?
