Wind buntu, have you by any chance opted in to YouTube's HTML5 programme (see the bottom of page at [1])? I've found Chromium is all too eager to crash with WebM, which is the video format used in YouTube's HTML5 experiment.
It's not limited to WebM though, there are issues with YouTube videos without HTML5 enabled as well. *[1] http://www.youtube.com/html5 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998634 Title: chromium can't play youtube vids??
