Fixing Google Chrome / YouTube Crash

Little Talk: I don't really watch tennis but this one here is really good.

My Google Chrome browser crashed on me recently when I closed a YouTube video tab. I thought it was just an one-off incident until it happened pretty much frequently.

Here's a quick fix that you can use this solve this annoying issue.

  1. Access your Plug-ins page by keying "chrome://plugins" in your Google Chrome Address Bar.

  2. At the right upper corner of your Plug-ins page, expand all the plugins by clicking "Details".

     

  3. Look under "Flash" and you should see something like the one I have.

     

  4. Disable the one that is located under your "system32" and it should solve the issue.

You can ignore the version that I have since I no longer do updates for my Flash ever since Google Chrome bundled themselves with the latest Flash version.

Update: Please ignore this fix as the problem came up again. Google is currently working on a fix at the time of writing.
