Frequently browser stops responding to mouse clicks, and then multiple tabs report crashes

Reported by chaircru...@gmail.com, Oct 28 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2897.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open several websites
2. wait for Chrome to lock up, usually while viewing Flash heavy page.
3. UI locks up. As much as a minute later, multiple tabs show 'sad folder' crash icon.

What is the expected behavior?
Normal operation.

What went wrong?
browser locked up.

Crashed report ID: 

How much crashed? Just one tab

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? Yes No idea, problem started months ago

Chrome version: 56.0.2897.0  Channel: beta
OS Version: Centos 7
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

I get updates from the google-chrome-unstable repo for Centos/RHEL7.

I've seen similar behavior with the google-chrome release version.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Linux Ubuntu-14.04 using chrome stable version-55.0.2883.87 and beta 56.0.2924.28 with the steps mentioned above.

Reporter@ could you please upgrade the Chrome to the latest version and let us know your observations if the issue still persists.

Thanks..
chaircrusher@ - Could you please update as per comment #1.

Thanks...!!
It seems less common now with 57.0.2950.4

If I come up with specific websites that cause the problem I'll update the report.

It seems to happen most with multiple tabs open; one page will 'lock up' and CPU use spikes, then several tabs crash at once. I thought tabs were each isolated processes, but apparently they share enough to all go down when Flash goes in the weeds.
