I am just the messenger, but AFAICT its Google Chrome. However, the process
id 3434 (mentioned in syslog) belongs to gnome-shell. I think its unwise to
generate appr 12000 syslog messages per minute, so I still think thats a bug
in gnome-shell. There is no indication that Chrome cannot be used to browse
the web.

Parent process of Chrome is gnome-shell, package version 3.30.2-11~deb10u1.
