Same here. 3 times in a row now, it has crashed Chrome if I left it open long enough for it to do so. Looks like a fun framework, but crashing browsers is kind of a problem.

I wonder if it's related to the animated gif? I've had it open for many hours as well, and it looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/E05vChB.png

Process of elimination and a dozen restarts.

It's not the gif OR the svg (individually) but somehow both together are causing it. I'm on Win7 with 2 gig ram and scrolling this (see pastebin) up from the bottom causes cpu to jump and memory near 1 gig with hdd looping endlessly, so i have to hard power off just to recover any function.

Same (chromium50) totally crashed (black screen, ctrl-alt-del fails, offline copy same) specifically, happens when i scroll up towards the ani-gifs.

Same happened to me (Chrome 54)
