Recent Debian advisories tackle chromium-related problems that have surfaced due to increased CPU usage and unexpected crashes following earlier updates.
The previous update for chromium released as DSA 4714-1 was mistakenly built without compiler optimizations

Summary

The previous update for chromium released as DSA 4714-1 was mistakenly
built without compiler optimizations. This caused high CPU load and
frequent crashes. Updated chromium packages are now available that
correct this issue.

For the oldstable distribution (stretch), security support for chromium
has been discontinued.

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in
version 83.0.4103.116-1~deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your chromium packages.
