Maybe put a warning (something in the title) which tells that opening the page may cause our browser to crash? I thought it would open a page where the issue is discussed, not a page which directly crashes my browser. (HN hides the subdomain: demo.cmrg.net, therefore removing the only indicator showing that this is a demo)

That's quite annoying. It doesn't indicate that clicking this link kills Chrome rather than a disclosure piece about something that could kill Chrome. I'd be even more annoyed if this crashed and lost unsaved work.

This does indeed kill Chrome (v33 on OS X 10.9.2). Firefox copes fine, with the error message ssl_error_weak_server_ephemeral_dh_key. Anyone know what's going on here?

Tried it out from the console using Chromium on Linux. It's a segfault of some form, though it unfortunately doesn't log anything else to the terminal before segfaulting.
