[ubuntu-studio-devel] Ubuntu Studio 20.04 beta test

Try blocking all blockable ads first: you will save your sanity and your bandwidth. If you still get a crash ads probably are not the culprit. If the site then loads normally, that's another matter.

Online ads are infamous for issues including serving malware. Still,  nothing beyond the browser should crash on ads (windows payloads should simply not run). Question that may be unanswerable is whether all ads or a particular buggy or malicious ad are causing this.

Note that I myself have limited experience with Youtube as I normally block all Google and Facebook content except over Tor and only use Youtube there to force-download video, often with the site stopped at half loaded.
