The first vulnerability in Google Chrome

Google Chrome was officially released on September 3. Do you want to know if there are any bugs in Google Chrome? The ArtHack organization is here to tell you — yes, there is indeed a "bug" that can easily crash your Chrome!

Chrome is reputed to have the strongest memory management, with no interference between tabs, bringing higher stability.

However, by simply entering the “:%” character in the Chrome URL bar, you can crash the entire browser, and it will prompt: "Oops! Google Chrome has crashed. Restart now?"

Although this isn't a real bug in the technical sense, it does make for a fun prank that mimics the effect of an actual "bug"! But don't worry, after Chrome crashes and closes, it won't cause any damage to your system.
