I've seen Youtube choke my opensuse 13.2 to death progressively, the longer I watch something the more it degrades the image, tearing starts appearing the machine starts thrashing the drive. I'm convinced it is a memory leak, but haven't spent a great deal of time tracking it down.
A memory leak should not crash the machine hard, and without traces in logs. The kernel should react and start killing things. It would not be a sudden crash.
I get that on my 13.1 install (nVidia driver). Being in France I'd started to suspect it was my French ISP deliberately throttling Google/YouTube, because that's a thing here in recent years. All part of an effort to force providers of big bandwidth applications and data to pay more. Very anti-net-neutrality.
I know my machine is perfectly capable of full screen (1280x800) video, but frequently with YouTube in particular, it all falls apart after the initial few minutes. I have to keep pausing and restarting after a while to avoid lag, yet the progress bar indicates that it has already read well ahead.
I prefer to use something to download the video, and watch it later with another player, like VLC, outside of the browser. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
