Trying to set window.location or using window.navigate() to make the browser go to about:crash or chrome://crash doesn't work. Is there a way to do it?

FUN FUN LOOP:



txt = a;

while(1){

    txt = txt += a;    //add as much as the browser can handle

}

Fun Fun Loop also works on Firefox!

And I have to give an applause to Safari, because it automatically reload the page when it is about to crash! Good job Webkit developers!

Oh yeah...
