I have disabled flash via 
   chrome://plugins 
and still get the issue.

One frequent manifestation of the bug is to click on the arrow of a drop
down choice box.  If the contents of the choice box are all greyed out,
then the browser freezes up as does the OS.

Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 LTS freezes

Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  After the most recent system update which brought new versions of
  Chromium and Firefox, Chromium starts to freeze and become
  unresponsive.

  At this point you still have mouse pointer control.

  Click around on the launcher a few times, nothing gets launched, and
  then Ubuntu itself completely freezes up.

  The only escape is to press down on the PC power button and force a
  hardware shutdown.

  This behaviour is intermittent but has happened twice since the above
  mentioned system update.
