To be fair, chromium crashing is due to the increased complexity of chromium and nothing to do with FreeBSD as the maintainers have noted in their comments. They have found it increasingly difficult over the past couple of years to keep up with it though more manpower would help I'm sure. But such issues are fixed within a couple of weeks or days. the issue you speak of has to do with javascript in GMail and settings and how chromium interacts with that; not chromium directly. I don't have the issue with Firefox, and never had any issue using the latest hardware, and I don't think the lack of Skype is FreeBSD's fault either but I forget.
