Android 9 WebView (also admob ads) not loading after Chrome update

We have an application that depends heavily on web views we noticed after last week that if an android 9 user spent some time loading webviews about 10 to 30 after that webviews just show blank page and loading progress gets stock at 10%

Also admobe native ads stop showing

the only thing changed was chrome update to 77.0.3865.73 we tested on android 9 that has not updated to that version everything works perfectly ( chrome 74.0.3729.136)

when debugging the only message I get is :

E/chromium: [ERROR:tile_manager.cc(779)] WARNING: tile memory limits exceeded, some content may not draw

but this message start showing from the first ever WebView created and when the WebViews start showing blank that error stop showing .

I saw this article saying there is a problem with the new version too
