Even though the title of this thread clearly says "with HDMI" it seems to have mutated into an issue with DSI displays.
My official RPi 7" DSI touchscreen is encased with an RPi that drives an external USB DAC. With no release of moOde has this system experienced the reported local display failure mode. I've seen it occur only with HDMI displays.
What I find interesting about the me-too DSI posts to this thread is that Alaini93 is using a HiFiBerry DAC+ Pro while pgzh1, ciro73, and new_bloke are using a HiFiBerry AMP2 DAC. Is it just a coincidence that these few DSI failure reports involve I2S and the same driver or are we seeing real evidence here? [I'm beginning to feel like an epidemiologist here.]
I'm not going to pull my encased system apart to test with an I2S DAC.
Perhaps one of you four who report experiencing the failure using a DSI display could try switching to a different audio output---onboard audio jack or USB DAC---and seeing if the local display function continues to result in the chromium-browser eating up system memory.

I'm sorry that my post has irritated you. I'd be happy to delete it and start a new thread if you'd prefer. I test software for a living, and it's often the case that what looks like a specific scenario may have a root cause that manifests via other routes as well. I'd be more than happy to help investigate if it can be of use to the community of moode users. I have purchased a separate USB thumb drive for this purpose so I can switch between versions without a reinstall. Please let me know what information would be most useful in terms of output (other settings or logs).
