title: How to crash Chrome browser?
body: <p>For testing purposes, I need a quick and easy way to crash my tab/browser. I'm stress testing my website, and these sites are invaluable for Google Chrome. 
  <li>chrome://crash</li>
  <li>chrome://kill</li>
  <li>chrome://hang</li>
  <li>chrome://quit</li>
  <li>chrome://restart</li>
  </p>
  
  <p>These sites can be found at <code>chrome://about</code>. Another site (not listed on <code>chrome://about</code> is <code>chrome://inducebrowsercrashforrealz</code>- it  will crash the top-level process for Chrome, including all tabs in all browser windows and all opened apps). Originally, I was trying to see what data was preserved in case of a crash. For example, the <code>textarea</code> in our form remained filled out upon restarting. </p>
  
  <p>However, these URL's are only valuable if I manually type the URL into the browser. Using this question (and many others I don't have the links to), I confirmed what I suspected- you can't </p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>redirect to <code>chrome://</code> pages</li>
  <li>link to <code>chrome://</code> pages</li>
  <li>in any other way request info from <code>chrome://</code> pages (ie. iframe)</li>
  </ul>

  <p>This poses a problem- I want to cause the browser to crash (<code>chrome://inducebrowsercrashforrealz</code>) when the user reaches a specific part of the form. Is there any script which can cause the browser to crash?</p>
  
  <p>I've tried <code>while</code> loops, but even when they're exponential, they take a while to kill the page, and never affect the browser. I'd like the crash to be either instantaneous, or eat up enough memory for the browser to freeze.</p>
