If your computer is in English, don’t search for it in Chrome

We tested the “Google Chrome crashing when asking about fuel prices” error brought up by a writer of Ekşi Sözlük. If you’re using Windows or MacOS in English, searching for at least four “I” letters in the Chrome search bar, the browser suddenly shuts down.

It seems that a hard-to-discover bug that existed in the last few versions of Google Chrome has been exposed. By a Sour Dictionary author “chrome crashes when asked about fuel price” This error, brought up with the title, is actually neither about fuel prices nor by asking Chrome a question.

If you have set Windows or MacOS to English; If you are using the most recent or previous version of Google Chrome as a browser and you have searched in the address bar with four capital letters “I” in it, Chrome closes. This issue does not occur when searching in the search bar on google.com, when you do it directly in the address bar of the browser is happening.

On English Windows or MacOS, if you type a phrase containing 4 capital letters “I” in the Chrome address bar, you will encounter the following problem:

Although such a problem exists in at least the last two versions of Chrome why did it show up late It is not difficult to understand. Because in order to live, several conditions must be fulfilled at the same time. We think that there are very few people who search in Turkish with capital letters in the address bar of Chrome while using their computer in English, and while doing this, they use four capital letters “I” in the sentence.

A writer of Ekşi Sözlük who forgot Caps Lock; When he searched in capital letters to satisfy his anger and curiosity about the rising fuel prices, it seems that he made a mistake and brought it to the dictionary openly to conspiracy theories.

It’s not like crashing your Chrome, but if you test it on your own operating system and Chrome browser by meeting these conditions, in the comments. both your operating system and your version of Chrome. You can specify.

The operating system and Google Chrome versions that we tested and confirmed the error are as follows;
