'How do you force Chrome pages/tabs to crash using JavaScript?

Trying to set window.location or using window.navigate() to make the browser go to about:crash or chrome://crash doesn't work. Is there a way to do it?

I realize this question is over a year old, but apparently you can use chrome://inducebrowsercrashforrealz.

Here is a list of additional debug chrome:// URLs, taken from chrome://about:

chrome://crash
chrome://kill
chrome://hang
chrome://shorthang
chrome://gpuclean
chrome://gpucrash
chrome://gpuhang
chrome://ppapiflashcrash
chrome://ppapiflashhang
chrome://restart

Simple enter the following line of code into the chrome address bar to see a Chrome tab crash simulation:

chrome://crash

This is by far the most simple way. Create an Array with the largest number possible for Arrays. This will not take up a computer's memory, but it will crash the page in a number of seconds.

[...Array(2**32-1)]

Let's say that your computer can handle this (it shouldn't). Try this to give your computer more stress:

[...Array(2**32-1)].map(_=>Math.ceil(Math.random()*111))

These can be called from the address bar with:

javascript:[...Array(2**32-1)]

or

javascript:[...Array(2**32-1)].map(_=>Math.ceil(Math.random()*111))
