YouTube crashing Chrome - Quick Fix (2012)

This video shows how easy it is to crash Google Chrome when playing YouTube videos and also shows how to fix that problem. If you have any questions or you want to share a different tip visit http://www.roboformchrome.com/topic/google-chrome-youtube-crash and post your comment.

Note: I'm using the latest version of Google Chrome as of 28 January 2012, so the issue is still not fixed even if the first appearance was 3 years ago.

UPDATE: The folks over at reddit found another solution if the html5 thing doesn't work:
"For me the issue was multiple flash plugins, if you go to "chrome://plugins" there should be an entry for Flash. If you have the same issue I had, you should see it say "Flash (2 files)". You can then proceed by clicking the details button in the top right and disabling the oldest listed flash plugin. I went from constant crashes to zero since I fixed it a few days ago. I hope this helps.
If you have 2 of the same version, disable the one in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64\ path."
