Browser problems

I know that quite a lot of people have alluded to all sorts of browser problems with the playbook. i am simply going to describe what happens with mine and hope someone has the solution because it is very frustrating. Basically, whilst playing a video on youtube or simply browsing webpages it just stops working - on youtube it says "there was an error please try later". once this has happened, even if the browser is closed and reopened, it is impossible to open any new window/search engine. The only solution is to restart the tablet which is really annoying as it happens so frequently. I have also experienced the problems encountered by others , eg: close one tab and all of them are shut down ie: the browser just crashes. Someone else has also mentioned drop down menus being a problem and the wrong values being entered. However, primarily I would love to get a solution to the freezing problem as it is really irritating. I tried clearing cache/cookies/history but that doesn't seem to have done the trick. Any clever techies got any bright ideas and is this something others have experienced and can RIM fix it?
