Aw, Snap! This 16-Character String Can Crash Your Google Chrome

Security researcher Andris Atteka discovered a simple simple URL string of text to crash Google Chrome. The issue was discovered by security researcher, who explained in his blog post that just by adding achar in the URL string could crash Chrome instantly. The bug affects all versions of the browser including Google Chrome 45, and crashes both Windows and Mac OS X versions. The mobile version of Chrome seems to be unaffected by this Chrome Crash Bug. Google has yet to release a patch for this latest Chrome crash bug, as the bug is not really a security flaw.
