There is a strange set of characters you can type in your Chrome browser to instantly see the crash. Rather funny is not it? The bug was reported a few days ago and after testing earlier, I can confirm that it is still not fixed. However, the Android version of Chrome is not affected by the bug in question.

According to a publication by the security researcher Andris Atteka, if you type "/ %% 30% 30" (without the quotes) at the end of any link in your Google Chrome browser, it will literally crash. The same thing happens if you click or hover over the text with a mouse, if the text is a hyperlink.
By placing null characters, in this case "30% 30" or similar at the end of a URL, will immediately cause a sudden stop of Chrome, after a series of attempts to rationalize the web address. Several sources indicate that the bug affects Web View of Android - version of Chrome that works in certain applications to provide third-party applications such as Twitter, Facebook and others, an integrated web browser.
A fix is in place, but it will take some time for it to arrive on the current version of Chrome. Chromium developers have solved the problem on the open source version of Google Chrome.
In the event that the Chrome browser plant, it is not a big problem since the browser has the ability to restore all lost tabs. However, all text entered in one tab means that your progress will be lost until a fix is implemented, I suggest you type your text elsewhere.
