I'm having the same issues and for that reason I've moved back to Firefox 4, since it seems to have improved quite a bit since I moved to Chrome.

What seems rather ironical is that I only started having these issues with Chrome after they added the Flash-sandbox, which was supposedly made to stop Flash from crashing the browser. With the result that Flash is always crashing the browser, something it never did before.

Sometimes I think Google needs a bigger QA-team.

Try adding --disable-internal-flash to your chrome shortcut, it'll use regular flash instead of the sandboxed version.

actually, I would believe the sandbox was added to prevent flash from accessing parts of your machine that it shouldn't be able to access.

This is not about preventing Flash from crashing, but about preventing your machine from getting owned by an exploit for one of the countless discovered and unpatched flash security flaws.

> Sometimes I think Google needs a bigger QA team That's an understatement :)

When I visited Google Zürich (admittedly not as crucial as Mountainview) I learned that unit testing was mostly used so they had pretty red/green lines on those LCD screens in the hall, and that any dev could break the version /in production/ pretty easily with a misplaced commit...

That would be great, except FF4 doesn't let me log in to HN.
