    Each Chrome window runs in it's own process, a different architecture than Firefox/Safari/IE, I can speculate that Chrome is more likely to not let a flash memory leak expand as much as other browsers, hence chrome seems to have more "flash crashes" ....

    if you have a bunch of chrome windows open, check the number of processes (ps -aux on mac command line, CTRL-ALT-DELETE on windows) and see the memory consumption, kill the one with the most RAM, then reload pages to keep other stuff open even if flash has crashed....
