For one or two days now, whenever I open a YouTube page on Google Chrome, I have dialog boxes similar to this one :

page unresponsive

On this screenshot, the active tab is not the YouTube page, but the same bug occurs when the active tab is the YouTube page itself.

On the screenshot, the YouTube page does not even contain a video player, it's just a list of videos (the same bug occurs on pages with video player, unfortunately).

This dialog box pops up regularly (every minute to every 30 seconds I'd say). However, the page does not crash and the videos can be viewed without any other problem than the anoying popup.

Any clue on how to fix that ?

UPDATES:

  • I realised that simple Google search tabs can be unresponsive too. Untill now, I only had this problem with YouTube and Google searches.

  • However, this isn't due to my Google account or any extension because I started Chrome with a new user profile and still got the same problem.

When I click on the first line that links to an actual JS file (base.js) and when I reveal it on navigator, it brings me here :

  • Have you tried 1/ restarting chrome (completely - it can leave a part of itself running), 2/ clearing the chrome cache?

  • Try starting chrome with a new user profile and no extensions installed ...

  • @DavidPostill: I started Chrome after deleting my Default profile, then I opened some YouTube tabs, and I still got the popup. (Sorry for the late answer)
