I have seen this message quite a few times on chromium now. any idea what this is about? nothing about flash for sure coz most of the time i get this message, i'm usually not on a flash intensive site.

in my experience, it's been plugin related. try disabling them & enable 1 by 1. the last time i had it was caused by the adblock plugin.

I'm not from the "Terminology Patrol", but AdBlock is not a plugin, is an extension ;)


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plugin#Plug-ins_and_extensions

With regard to web browsers, plug-ins differ from extensions.[1] Plug-ins are generally external, binary components using the Netscape Plugin API (or ActiveX within Microsoft Internet Explorer) to handle new types of multimedia. Extensions, on the other hand, usually integrate with the browser's application logic or "chrome", that is, the interface of the browser itself. Since plug-ins and extensions both increase the utility of the original application, Mozilla uses the term "add-on" as an inclusive category of augmentation modules that consists of plug-ins, themes, and search engines.

To disable plugins (flash, java, quicktime) in Chrome, add --disable-plugins to your launcher or command. To disable extensions, add --disable-extensions.

But I wouldn't discard the possibility of being a plugin the source of the problem, specially flash.

when flash crashes it just has the yellow bar at the top, usually it don't stop the page loading. i've never had a whole page not load from a plugin crash.

I got one about 30 minutes ago. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it. Anyway, I'm running KDE 4.4 on Lucid. Before that Chrome wasn't even working unless with the --disable-plugins.

Chrome isolates each process unlike other browsers(except firefox lorentz).So if something goes wrong instead of taking down the whole browser with it crashes a tab and displays a Sad tab(Ripped off from This (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sad_Mac))

Ellen deGeneres has had a long running game on her show with the same name. Maybe the developers like Ellen or they really mean Oh crap!

i typed in the address you had showing & mine didn't do that, but it did freeze after a while, so i just closed the tab.
i only use 1 extension, tabs to front, i use a host block list to block ad's.

I don't even use Chrome :) It's installed only for testing, so no extensions.
