I’m using Chrome 19.0.1084.36 beta as my primary browser, and I noticed something really odd recently. Chrome 19 beta crashes any time I visit stevesouders.com (Steve is the web performance guru at Google).
This isn’t an isolated single tab crash, the whole Chrome browser comes tumbling down. I tried it with Firefox 12 and Safari 5.1.5 and both worked fine.
I think this makes Chrome 19 the worst performing browser when viewing stevesouders.com :-)
I tested 19.0.1084.36 beta on Arch Linux x86_64, and it didn’t crash.
Interesting, I wonder if it is Mac specific.
jazka on ##apple/freenode tested on Chrome 19.0.1084.36 beta and could not reproduce.
Perhaps something with your setup? You should try with a fresh profile.
Possible. I generally keep the number of plugins I use fairly small, but could that one of them isn’t playing nice with Chrome 19.
