Chrome has native support for Flash because it ships with its own Shockwave Flash plugin. Locate “Flash” plug-in and see if you have more than one copy of Shockwave Flash installed.Click on the “Details” button on the top-right corner to see the details of each installed plug-in.The “about:plugins” command will lead you to the Chrome Plug-ins page. You can see all the plug-ins installed under Chrome by typing “about:plug-ins” in the address field.The fix to “The Following Plug-in Has Crashed: Shockwave Flash” error is surprisingly easy Using FireFox or Safari does not produce the same error however, having to switch browsers is a real pain.

When logging into Google+ or starting a YouTube video, Flash crashes reliably every time with an error message: “The Following Plug-in Has Crashed: Shockwave Flash”.

I love Chrome so I use it as my main web browser on Mac, even though it takes up a lot of my RAM. To fix this error, you need to disable the redundant copies of Flash plug-ins and make sure there is only one instance of Shockwave(Flash) plug-in is running. “The following plug-in has crashed: Shockwave Flash” error is usually caused by having multiple versions of incompatible Shockwave Flash plug-ins installed in Chrome.
