Constant kernel panics

Been getting constant kernel panics on my MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, macOS Big Sur), seemingly out of nowhere - I can barely get an hour of work done before my laptop restarts.


It seems that Google Chrome is the problem. Around the same time that the kernel panics kept happening, tabs erratically failed to load and showed the "Aw, Snap!" message with an error code 5.


Is there something I can do? Attached the full kernel panic report.
