Agreed!

I have absolutely no idea how a combination of grammarly and a specific gif would cause a browser crash though…

Anyone here use the grammarly desktop app? Any additional clues?

I‘d guess it’s because Grammarly enables full accessibility support in Chrome to be able to access the browser elements similar to e.g. a screen reader. This is off by default and has caused me various issues in the past when enabled (e.g. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=136448... ). However it’s probably good that the Accessibility functions get more exposure due to this.

I would guess the gif triggers a specific edge case that would crash, and grammarly is just a common enough addition to chrome with a lot of edge case triggers that it was identified. I’d guess this is on the Chrome team to fix soon, but yeah, at least post the spinner file for us!
