basically what was happening is that, on random youtube videos, the video on the youtube page would stay as a black screen and then crash, forcing a complete restart of chrome. for more details go here: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18366219
it was the chrome extension "skype ckick to call" that was causing the problem. since i disabled it i've never had youtube crash once. hopefully this will help someone because it sure has helped me.
i guess it was trying to work out the details of the view count, thinking that was a phone number, getting very confused and then crashing everything.
i actually solved this a while ago, but i didnt post a thread because i wanted to make sure i really had solved the problem. i meant to make this post weeks ago, but ive only just remembered to now. knowing my luck the extension has already been fixed and updated and i'm way too late with this info
