Chrome browser woke man at 3:00 AM with monsters shouting

An unpleasant story happened to one of the users of the Chrome browser. The full horror account of the events he published in the Chromium bug tracker, see Issue 224182 .

How to reproduce the situation



1. Before bedtime, watch the next episode of the Supernatural series or some other film about zombies on Neflix.

')

2. After the end of the film, turn off the monitor and go to bed. Close your eyes, relax, think about something pleasant and plunge into a carefree peaceful sleep.



3. At about 3 am, when you first started enjoying the second deep sleep cycle, Windows can install several updates that will require a restart of the computer. Of course, there is no problem here, because you are now asleep.

4. WAKE UP IN A PANIC BECAUSE OF THE MONSTERS CRY IN YOUR ROOM.



5. When you get out of bed and change your underwear, you will realize that after rebooting, Chrome helpfully restored open tabs, including Netflix, so that the replay of the episode that you watched before going to bed again began.

The user writes that, ideally, Chrome should fully restore the original state, including the state of plug-ins. After all, the Netflix plugin did not play the movie before rebooting, so it should not do this after restoring the session.



If 20 tabs with Youtube videos are open in the browser, then under certain conditions, after restarting the browser, all of them will recover and start simultaneous playback. Obviously, this behavior is not normal, and it needs to be corrected. For comparison, in Firefox there is no such problem: there all tabs are restored after a reboot, but only one active tab actually loads.



You may need to make changes to the Silverlight / Flash software interfaces to restore the state, so that you can even start playing videos from the very place where you paused before rebooting the computer.



The alleged Google Chrome bug is still in the status of unconfirmed.
