Google Chrome unlike other browsers has an internal Flash Plugin of its own. By default, it does not use the Flash Plugin that you install in your Operating System(Windows/Mac).
For some reason, Chrome sometimes gets confused which plugin to choose, the OS one(Windows/Mac) or the one which it has internally, so instead it chooses both.
This causes lag in the browser, or in the worst case, causes the whole plugin to crash. So how do we fix this issue? The answer is simple, disable the plugin that is provided in Chrome internally.
Following are the steps to fix the Shockwave Flash Crash in Google Chrome:
1. Open Chrome's Plugins page
3. Click "Details" on the top right corner of the page in order to see the whole content.
If you have done all the above steps restart Chrome for the changes to take effect. If everything is done right, Shockwave Flash will not crash like it used to before.
