I just switched to chrome some days ago and I am very happy with it, but there was one thing with Firefox I really liked: The plugin container. From time to time the flash player hangs up and with Firefox I was very happy that I just had to kill the plugin container, reload the page and everything was fine again.
Now, with chrome, the browser itself hangs up, so I have to restart chrome – and with this all of my 5 windows and 40 tabs.
So, is there an extension for chrome, that adds a new layer between the browser and the flash player, so that I only have to kill the flash player itself?

Chrome is multi-process as well. If you press Shift+Esc you can open Chrome's task manager and kill an unresponsive Flash instance or tab without bringing down the whole browser.
