Thirteen Assyrian characters crash the Chrome browser tab on Mac OS

There is nothing absolute in the world, including absolutely safe and stable browsers. But surprisingly, you can still "kill" the browser tab with the symbols on the page. The other day, one developer discovered that thirteen Assyrian characters cause the Chrome for Mac PC browser page to crash , reports techworm.net .


Below is the image of the "code" of thirteen characters, typed in Assyrian font:


The combination of these characters only works on a Mac and only for the Chrome browser. This bug has already got a bug report, you can read it here , however, if you are reading this text from Chrome on a Mac, then it is not recommended.

The bug report of Matt S., the developer who discovered this problem, was marked as a duplicate, therefore, Google is aware of the existing problem and is already working on fixing it.

Actually, the report itself:


Crash-ID error is here: chrome: // crashes d043b37f53c2436f. Users tell Google that navigating to the page with these characters does not always lead to a drop in the tab, but instead of the Assyrian font, only empty squares are visible, like on older smartphones, when they receive emoticons from new iOS or Android devices.

The error looks small and inconsequential, but in capable hands can cause serious inconvenience. For example, if you place these thirteen characters through a popular account on Twitter or Facebook, then when loading a tape, most Chrome users on Mac and iOS run into a page that crashes.

As Matt S put it: “This is very serious. Imagine that someone starts spamming these characters on Hangouts or Gmail, which will force the pages of all Chrome users on the Mac to crash. ”
