Oh no you didn't!

Chrome has a habit of crashing, often for no real reason. When running a Kiosk, or Digital Signage - the ability the quickly reload the page is essential. This plugin does exactly that.

This is not a replacement for correcting problems in the first place (memory leaks especially) and isn't particularly useful in an everyday environment, where you can simply press the refresh button yourself.

Installation (Manual)

  1. Download and unzip package onto disk
  2. Optional: Run $ yarn install for improved editor support
  3. Open Chrome extensions page (chrome://extensions)
  4. Enable developer mode
  5. Select "Load unpacked", select the base folder ("ohnoyoudidnt"), and click 'ok'
  6. Simulate a failure!

Installation (Packaged)

Install the package from the Chrome Store.

How to test?

Copy this into the javascript console of any tab to crash it. (Causes an out of memory error)

let memoryEater = "nom";
while (true) {
  memoryEater = memoryEater += "nom";
}
