Flash has been crashing my browser all day; switched to HTML5 player.

Well, I noticed that the issue popped up for me (and everyone else I know - who reported it to me) when the 16.0.912.77 version came out - from the previous 16.0.912.75 version.

I just shifted to Fx.
Anyhow, something changed [likely with YT] and it hasn't been crashing for me for the past day (well... not yet).

Whew. Hope the Chrome team figures out what was happening. It's pretty bad if a site can make a change that hard-crashes your whole browser.

Well, I think it was likely a browser change. Then a workaround on the website tailored to go along with that change in the browser.

There are tons of bugs in Chrome. Firefox is still a FAR more robust browser from my perspective.

I've begun posting bugs to http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/list

I hope to see Chrome become a truly great browser.

Bears repeating. The solution worked when I did it earlier this week. No problems since.

Haven't noticed anything. And I'm a heavy youtube user. Granted most of my youtube viewing occurs in Firefox and the iOS Youtube app.

This affected only the Google Chrome web browser.
