The youtube crashing thing is indeed super-annoying.

A workaround for now is just to go to any other page (like google or about:blank) before closing the tab. It will successfully load the new page and then won't crash when you kill the tab.

I would assume it will apply to all chromium-based browsers unless the developer says differently.

also to clarify, they are not blocking webRequest they are adding a new method called "declarativeNetRequest" which will allow for adblock like functionality except most extensions will have to be rewritten and the rules right now seem to be limited to 30000. for reference. the easylist that comes with ublock is about 70000 rules if i remember right.

Importantly, it only allows the user to have a list of ABP-style rules and addons won't be able to dynamically decide if something should be filtered. This will completely break uBlock Origin's dynamic mode and uMatrix.

It also doesn't allow for domain-specific filter rules if I understand correctly.

e: It also breaks things like stripping cookies for requests send to certain domains, so tracking cookies will be harder to avoid after this change.
