Crashing Google Chrome? Just 16 bytes!

In recent years, the fast and easy-to-use Google Chrome browser has dominated the global market. At the same time, it is also the default browser on the Android platform. Although there are some complaints about Chrome's "memory consumption", this does not affect its popularity. Of course, as more people use it, the number of bugs found in it has also increased. According to VentureBeat, the most recent bug is that Andris Atteka discovered that Chrome can be tossed to crash by a simple 16-character (URL).

If you're curious, try typing "http://a/%%30%30" into the Chrome address bar.

Even worse, if the string of characters above is part of a hyperlink, when you hover your mouse over it, Chrome will crash the current page and report an "Aw, Snap!" error. (To protect netizens from browsing this article normally, foreign media has not embedded this string of characters in the link.)

For ordinary users, there is probably no need to worry about the potential security risks of this action, because the attacker will only annoy you at most. It should be pointed out that this bug has not been widely tested yet. As for whether its power will spread to a wider range, it still needs time to test. I hope Google can fix this bug as soon as possible.
