I've been using Maxthon for years and honestly, it only crashed about 3 times. All web browsers crash at some point, but Maxthon is the best web browser; to me, and I'm surprised of how many people, didn't even know it existed. It's so much better then Opera, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.

I don't think so. I mean, Google Chrome crashed so many times; for me. So I decided to switch to Opera, then Opera didn't work fine for me either. I finally found Maxthon, and it's so much better.

How am I supposed to do that?

Before that, when does it crash? Like, does it happen when you go to a specific site? If so, try to avoid that site.
BTW, chrome updates flash automatically, coz it has internal flash built in it.

Well something must be wrong with my computer. It just kind of happens.

I'm going to try using Firefox and thanks for the link.

Yeah, you do that. Firefox gives more control for trouble shootings.

I'd take it to Best Buy and let the geeks mess with it. They're not that expensive, if it's really bad it may cost $100. They can fix really anything

Google Chrome uses its own java and flash and if it crashes then you have a problem with your computer and not your browser. Try downloading shockwave from the adobe website again this might help.
