Crash iPhone from Safari (Warning: Direct Link) (mobile.crashsafari.com)

Works as advertised.

Well, it certainly made my Chrome on OS X unresponsive too.

Also did a number on Safari on my Mac (though recoverable of course.)

Can you not direct link this please, put it in a text post

Works on Chrome too. Not that either one is particularly hard to crash. Too many animated gifs on one page will do it. I rue the day I bought this iPad is what I'm saying.

locks up chrome on windows as well

How to fix Chrome after clicking: force kill chrome, turn off wifi before restoring tabs, restore tabs, close tab with "no internet" dinosaur, turn wifi back on.

Otherwise it will just lock up as soon as you restore your tabs, and you can't close it.

Crashing a browser isn't particularly difficult. It's whether or not the crash is exploitable that is interesting. Where is the technical description of this crash?

Vising on that page was a mistake. It made my Chrome on OS X unresponsive for a while (until I force quit) and it polluted my browsing history.

If anyone is interested, this is the javascript pulled from the webpage.

  var total = "";
  for (var i = 0; i < 100000; i++) {
      total = total + i.toString();
      history.pushState(0, 0, total);
  }

edit: formatting

Locks up Iceweasel on Debian as well.

Something interesting: even having the URL autocomplete from having tried it on my Mac was enough to make my iPhone respring.

Don't recommend opening this link from FF on Windows either!
