Frequent 'AwSnap!' using Chrome

**ruslan kim** · August 25th, 2012

Hello everyone,
I came across a small issue using Google Chrome in Ubuntu 12.04. While wathing YouTube video the 'Aw, Snap!' mistake appears (the one with a dead folder =)
I guess I need some plug-in for the Chrome, how do I get it?
Many thanks in advance!
P.S. Video runs perfect on Mozilla Firefox, the problem seems to be in Chrome only.

Do you get a message as to what the plugin may be that is missing ? The following you may have seen. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin...n&answer=95669

Have switched to chromium the videos have been lagging and not playing at all while using Chrome. Chrome seems to have become slow. This all seems to have happen after the last update.I completely uninstalled Chrome.

You may want to uninstall chrome and reinstall Chrome.

The Chrome cache is a down right pig on my computer even with the no history extension and all the Google features and background apps turned off . I empty the cache with Ubuntu Tweak after every use. A heavy cache can cause the browser to lag.

No, there isn't any message about plug-ins, I am just trying to guess the reason.

By the way, while on Windows 7, I was often using the Evernote Web Clipper extension - I could easily save different fragments of webpages on my Evernote account simply 'pushing the button' on the top right corner, near the 'Chrome Settings' gear. Pity it is not working on Ubuntu. Maybe these problems are of the same kind?

To Frogs Hair: Thank you for the idea, I'll try to do it...
