I took suggestion and disabled Shockwave and most all crashes went away. But certain sites need the flashplayer by Adobe to see video content.
I dont like to enable and disable Shockwave all of the time just to see certain video clips. Is there another flashplayer out there that will work???

Hi, not sure about Chrome, but I use Firefox and never have any issues with viewing video content.

I think there is a problem with the latest Chrome version and the Flash Player. In Android, it does not work either.

The problem with Chrome crashing flash is apparently endemic. I use this version after G/Chrome started going wrong;

You can get Comodo Dragon from here; http://www.comodo.com/home/bro.....rowser.php

It is a bit faster and more secure as well. You will notice no difference in use from G/Chrome.

You can import your bookmarks by clicking; Dragon Icon > Bookmarks > Import Bookmarks and Settings > From: Chrome > Import. You just need to get your extensions after that.

This is a good suggestion. But the easiest is to use the IE.
