I get Flash crashes multiple times per day. I get the "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Player." error.

I also get weird behaviour where I can hear the sound but can't see anything.

It's making Flash unusable the amount of times it crashes.  There isn't a consistent video or time. It can be while in Gmail, Youtube or any other site that runs Flash. I often switch to Safari to then watch the video.  The only fix I have is to exit Chrome and open it again.  I've disabled the built in version and used the system version, but this hasn't fixed the problem.

1. 20.0.1132.43
2. Mac OS X 10.7.4
3. Anything
4. None yet as just enabled reporting. Error I receive is "The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Player."
5. Sometimes nothing, I switch to Gmail and I see the error in the top. Or I'm trying to watch a video on Youtube or where youtube is embedded and it won't play. Or is blank.

I know Flash is unstable, but please, it works in every other browser!

Thanks
