I clicked on it even before reading the article. Not only the chrome crashed, but also my notebook! I had to reboot the computer.

I was wondering the same thing! I did, and it crashed. Currently running 53.0.2785.80 beta (64-bit) on OS X.

Vivaldi doesnt crash, but it is a resource starvation dos ( several threads go 100% cpu).

I saw it but due to security concerns I did not click.
