I've been experiencing the same thing in Safari.

I've been seeing Safari crash a lot lately when using youtube, as well as *cough* other video streaming websites 🙄*cough*.

Happens when I try to skip ahead to parts of a video that haven't loaded yet. Not always, but often.

Hmm, ... delicious Flash related crashes ...

Install ClickToFlash. This will show you a large grey rectangle with any Flash content. Right clicking on that gives you the option of viewing H.264 on YouTube. This will likely avoid any Flash related problems.

I shall try that

No. You're not alone. I noticed it start to do that about a month ago. I tried both Safari and Firefox and suffered browser crashes. I'm very certain that the problem is at their end. Browser crashes caused by a web-site is a serious problem. The question I have is, how do we report it and who do we report it to?
