Crash Chrome With 16 Characters

Posted by timothy on from the you-go-first dept.

An anonymous reader writes: Remember when it took just eight characters to crash Skype? Apparently it takes double that to take out Chrome: Typing in a 16-character link and hitting enter, clicking on a 16-character link, or even just putting your cursor over a 16-character link, will crash Google's browser. To try it yourself, fire up Chrome 45 (the latest stable version) or older and put this into your address bar: http: //a/%%30%30 (without the space).

    Sure... the older something is, the higher its age... so Chrome 44 is younger than Chrome 45.
