alt Hacker NewsI'm on a macbook pro, Google Chrome 147.0.7727.56.
Clicking the Vercel logo at the top left of the page hard crashes my Chrome app. Like, immediate crash.
What an interesting bug.

Sadly I coudn't make Chrome crash here. Would be fun.
Chrome Version 147.0.7727.101 (Official Build) (64-bit). Windows 11 Pro.

I use uBlock Origin Lite. Maybe it blocks some crash causing script? edit: still no crash when I disabled UBO.
Reminds me of circa 2021 Chromium bug where opening the dropdown menu on GitHub would crash the entire system on Linux. At some point, it got fixed.
Same with Chrome on Windows 11. I opened the vercel home page using the url once after which it stopped crashing when clicking on the logo.
MBP - M4 Max - Chrome 146.0.7680.178.
No crash.
Now I don't want to click that "Finish update" button.
I'm running 147.0.7727.57 and this doesn't happen. Macbook Air M5. VERY interesting.
Same hard crash on Chrome Windows 11
Huh, curiously; I'm on Arch Linux, crash happens in Google Chrome (147.0.7727.101) for me too, but not in Firefox (149.0.2) nor even in Chromium (147.0.7727.101).
I find it fun we're all reading a story how Vercel likely is compromised somehow, and managed to reproduce a crash on their webpage, so now we all give it a try. Surely could never backfire :)
