Google Chrome crashes when a YouTube video tab is closed

[Ninja Duck]

Just recently, whenever I'm watching a video on YouTube then close the tab, Google Chrome freezes and crashes. I don't know why this is happening all of a sudden, and I don't know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as I am.

I don't know what other information to give but I'll answer whatever you ask to help me out.

Thanks,

Ninja

if you google this problem one of the first results is the Google Chrome support board where tons of people are having this issue

Google team is working on a fix right now

Thanks! I feared it was going to be a large problem and I'd have to figure out what change I made to my computer that caused it. That's a relief.

Oh god I thought I was the only one with this too. I expected it to be this shitty laptop.

It's kinda silly since the idea of chrome was that if a tab crashes you don't lose the whole browser

[djjkxbox360]

The idea was that flash runs in its own container. So if flash decided to explode, it wouldn't explode outside of its container. Anyways, it's good that they're fixing this issue

Is this a repeatable bug or does it only happen with certain people? I've been trying to get Chrome to crash but haven't been able to.

It's probably been fixed considering the number of people that use Youtube

[Blasphemy]

It doesn't seem to happen if you pause the video before closing it.

It still happens and the problem is with how they are handling flash still.

[Remscar]

Got this too.

[Zarfa]

I got this, but instead of a crash, I get BSOD.

Yeah.

Stop using Google Chrome.

I agree on this.
The only reason for using Chrome right now is that whenever I browse a thread on this forum with tons of YouTube videos, Opera crashes.
