Is that the flag that's causing the crashes? That's so easy to address with an extension instead of a flag Confused

My god you're right, that's what's crashing it ....Wow.

To anyone who wants to "fix" this permanently:

This will do the same job:

Just grab the user-agent string from chrome://version and create a new user-agent string to spoof under the extension options, then turn that on and you're done. You'll need to edit the Chrome version periodically to use sites like hbogo that require "the latest version of chrome" but otherwise it works flawlessly.

You'll need to move/remove whatever file configures the user-agent in this directory: /etc/chromium-browser/customizations - restart chrome and the settings page will work.
