phil@, This crash is not seen on latest canary 54.0.2809.0 and Dev 53.0.2785.30. Could you please try the same on latest builds and update the thread.

I can't reproduce too. Though, the videos in foxnews.com are Flash Videos so moving this out of Blink>Media>video.

The CL in question ( https://codereview.chromium.org/2149403002 ) just removed a crash key (debugging info) and shouldn't have had any behavioral effect.

This crash is not reported after - 54.0.2832.2, currently 54.0.2840.16 is in production.

Closing for now. Feel free to reopen if needed.
