# Aw, Snap! Found a silly bug in Google Chrome

[caption id="attachment_160" align="aligncenter" width="471" caption="Aw, Snap!"][](http://geeklord.com/)[/caption]

Today while I was doing some weired experiemts on a site I found that in Chrome pasting a special ASCII character [ALT+0173] twice in any text box instantly crashes that browser instance as well as its parent tab(if you've opened that new page by clicking on a link on another page then its parent would be that link holder page.). :P

The bug has been reported to Google and hopefully new version will be free from this bug.

By the way, if you've found a bug in Google Chrome and want to report it to Google simply follow the instructions here: http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=95760
