| 1289381 | 2012-07-19 04:38:00 | Hey guys, Am on Mac OS X 10.7.4, and using Chrome version 20.0.1132.57. Ever since getting this laptop (Macbook Pro) for work, I have noticed I frequently get the Aw, Snap! message when viewing pages that have video content, for example YouTube videos, either embedded on a website or on YouTube's webiste. I've looked at the steps that Chrome suggested (support.google.com): Firewall/Anti-virus - don't have this on this laptop. (Should I?) Check your extensions - Done Malware - as said before i don't have anti-virus, so should I install one to check this? Create a new user profile - done. Still occurs. Interesting thing is I note this only happens in Chrome; I have tested the exact same websites/videos using Firefox with no problems so I am certain it is something to do with Chrome. What suggestions do you have to eliminate this problem? |

| 1289384 | 2012-07-19 05:02:00 | I would fully remove Chrome, clear any leftover profiles and things (Use one of those funny Mac cleaner apps too) and then reinstall. That fixed it for me last time that happened (On Windows), it was due to corrupt files... | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1289385 | 2012-07-19 05:17:00 | Jumping the gun a bit, and off topic, but if it were Chrome on windows 8 thats easy to fix, as I had the same problems with That combo and flash or videos :D The fix wont work for MAC's, as its a command line that MAC's dont have. Just use Firefox since you mentioned it works OK. |

| 1289386 | 2012-07-19 05:22:00 | What's the fix with command line? There's a chance that it could be done with terminal on mac. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1289387 | 2012-07-19 06:22:00 | Well, I don't know how to fix it, but... you should definitely have anti virus and anti malware on it. MACS can get infected, just click on an add that says 'you are the 1,000,000 visitor to this site. Click here to win an iPad' and see for yourself :p |

Just use Firefox since you mentioned it works OK. It may not have a command line like you know it but it does have a terminal which is basically the same. |
