Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/51.0.2704.79 Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36 Example URL: Any of them Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. browse any internet site that requires shockwave flash 2. browse any internet site that requires shockwave flash 3. browse any internet site that requires shockwave flash What is the expected behavior? Any site that requires shockwave flash will suddenly freeze the entire computer What went wrong? Any site that requires shockwave flash will suddenly freeze the entire computer when using chrome, chromium won't play any video requiring the plugin at all Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes Is it a problem with a plugin? Yes shockwave flash Did this work before? No Does this work in other browsers? Yes Chrome version: 51.0.2704.79 Channel: n/a OS Version: Ubuntu Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 19.0 r0 there are many reasons why chrome could crash your computer, though the most common one if that it is using some faulty GPU drivers. Can you try disabling the use of them? To test this, you can try the following command from the command line: killall -s 15 chrome; killall -s 15 chrome; google-chrome --disable-gpu If this results in something successful, you can more easily disable it in the settings, via: chrome://settings > Advanced settings > Enable Hardware Acceleration (Uncheck this one) To get a more permanent solution, you will have to log a bug for this at crbug.com When doing so, please include: A mention of this thread The information you can find at chrome://gpu A screenshot (On rendering issues) A mention that disabling the hardware acceleration can be used as workaround If you have this bug, please share it, than we can support it. If this would not work, just let us know, than we'll look to other parts of chrome. JVApen PS: Why do you have this problem in chrome and not with firefox? Because chrome just tries to use your drivers. Any driver available should be working and when proven wrong, bugs get logged against those drivers and your driver gets blacklisted for certain features within chrome. From JVApen

Only reason I can post a reply to this bug is by using Firefox. A quality browser that doesn't crash my system every hour or two. Chrome sucks. Good riddance.

Your own browser crashes with a defect in shockwave flash y'all are too stupid to fix. Firefox is the way to go with linux because this isn't a "new issue" it's gone on for years now while google fiddles around with other stupid crap. Where's the "mysterious barge" now ?
