Anyone else experiencing frequent lock ups with Chrome, I seem to remember it doing this last year as well at some point. Lasted for a few weeks, then an update to chrome and/or shockwave finally stopped it.

 

Basically it looks like the shockwave plugin keeps failing. Had the FME sites lock up, as well as videos freeze with sound still playing on youtube videos and just generally receiving kill or wait messages from chrome after the page has frozen for sometime.

 

Last time, I had to revert to Edge or I.E.

 

I don't wish to switch to Firefox or Opera or anything else, just making sure it's not just me though.

I use chromium it's quicker and less bugs

Disable flash whenever possible, a lot of websites have moved on from flash & use HTML 5 whereas ads still use flash so can be a real drain to system resources.

If you are starting to get frequent ones (I have had this problem before) but I used https://toolslib.net...d/1-adwcleaner/ to check if anything is causing this problem and it found 50+ things that I didn't know I had and was glad this found them and never had a problem since.

Use AdBlock Plus... on Mac and PC it is great at stopping ad-related Flash player plug-ins from starting.

Google Chrome is working fine on my iMac, MacBook Pro and PC with AdBlock Plus on it
