Browser Test See if your browsers passes the test

Recommended Posts

Hey All,

A few years ago I had a shtml page which crashed most every browser. It would also completely crash win 95 and win 98 systems, requiring a reboot. This was heaps of fun especially when someone annoyed me on irc or icq. I dunno if it will still crash browsers and systems. I tried it again tonight on my linux box running firebird 1.0. It didn't crash the browser or the box. I got a firebird message saying that I should close the page or seriously slow the browser performance.

 

For those who are brave and want to test their browser ... here's my page:

hashbangs browser fun page

 

Let me know how it turns out. It would be interesting to see if the windows systems can now cope with the page and not require a reboot.

 

cheers

Am I the only brave person here or is it just that no-one else has read this yet? Anyway I am running the latest version of Opera on Windows XP and it did absolutely nothing to either my browser or Windows. Sorry to dissapoint you but you're gonna have to redesign you're crashing page ^_^ .

Darren? Darren? Where did you go???

Rebooting???

 

hehehe, seriously, I'm not surprised. Like I said this was about three years ago (IE 4 and 5 I think). SO if that doesnt work anymore, does anyone have any webpage scripting that will crash a computer nowadays?

This test uses about a dozen common pieces of code which test browser bugs. If this crash test crashes your browser, you should upgrade it. You may be at this page because you are choosing to test your browser, or maybe just because the hashbang doesn't like you.

I found this site which has two very simple pieces of code, one that is supposed to crash Internet explorer and the other which is supposed to crash Mozilla. I don't know whether or not they actually work though, as they are both from some time in 2003.

Hey darren,

Neither of those codes crashed my firefox either. How about if we set up a challange to see who can design, create, find html code which will crash firefox 1.0? Anyone game to take up the challenge?

 

Happy coding ...

So tell me whats the program it trys to download on to your computer?

 

EDIT: To be exact  fuk1210.exe

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Bizaare ... that's not from my code - Have a look at the source. Dunno where you got that file.

 

I have made a minor tweek to my code and got a better (worse) result with firefox. It slowed it down to being non-responsive for about 2 mins before it finally recovered. See if it affects your browser more now.

 

cheers

Its a good test if it manages to crash some browsers,however i dont consider firefox weak from becoming unresponsive from running such a cpu consuming script.its just like testing OS's with a program likeint main() { char *X while(true) { X = new char[1024]; ) return 0;}

I haven't managed to find anything else that works yet ^_^ . The new portion of script wich you've put on your website pauses in Opera. After it downloads the first 294 bytes (enough for it to load text saying all the tests to "flying crash test" have failed) it tries to look up host name http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and stops there. All the other tabs and the rest of the computer still work fine though so it only the tab that the webpage is in freezes. Nice try but it still don't completely crash.

Doesnt do anything to my Firefox on Win 98 FE, just all says failed. ^_^ Does anyone get anything that actually crashes or are we waiting of people to get online after crashing. I hate people that dont warn about these things they annoy me because youve often got ot start what you were dojng again.
