It may be an issue with YouTube rather than Chrome itself. YouTube recently switched to using HTML5 videos by default: http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/youtube-goes-html5-flash-is-now-deader/
I'd report playback errors using the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/html5
Also, in case it's a problem with Chrome or any installed extensions, try downloading Chrome Canary (a beta version that can be installed alongside regular Chrome).

Given the 4 upvotes maybe yes? I'm not having any problems with Chrome 40, but I'm using the DX11 renderer on an Nvidia card, so... I guess I'm atypical. If I noticed anything is that Chrome 40 seems have improved behavior with respect to RAM consumption. – Fizz – 2015-02-04T04:14:41.837
