Wow. I guess Microsoft is still the pinata.
I write web-based software. Every day.
I have made every browser crash and become completely non-responsive, many times over. Chrome. Firefox. Opera. All of them.
Now, this is mostly through JavaScript, when I do something stupid by manipulating the DOM the wrong way or some other funny thing. I fix it and keep going. Because breaking the browser is bad.
Want to report it to the vendor? Great. Fine. Making a website dedicated to the crash? Waaaay too much time on your hands.
- acdha 14y agoI can say the same but there's a clear gap in how seriously the vendors take it: it's been a long time since I've crashed any browser other than IE. The closest I've come a couple of times was getting Firefox to use enough memory that I killed it rather than waiting for it to page. If you are crashing them as often as you claim, you should be filing security bug reports - every other browser team will respond quickly to non-Flash crashes.
- yuhong 14y agoAnd if the crash is a non-null access violation in IE, please report to MSRC. These do get fixed in the next security update.

We have a winner. Want browsers to play nice? Write good code.
