POC: DevTools Extension GPU Crash
POC Extension that crashes the GPU
The root cause is this:
window.document.querySelector('.box').getAnimations()[0].currentTime = 1000000 * Math.random()If you call that quickly after each other, the extension crashes.
Example Crash ID: crash/d4adab2203e014bd
Noteworthy: when running the code directly in Chrome – i.e. not in an extension – it works fine. Try it with this CodePen.
