On older versions of Chrome just goes to google.com and searches for this string. That's why i disabled automatic updates on my phone. Give me a changelog and i update. Bug fixes and performance improvements it's not a changelog.
Warning: if you do this on your Android phone at the moment, you may have to completely clean your Chrome application storage to be able to use the app afterwards.
Clearing cache was sufficient enough for me to launch Chrome and quickly close the tab.

> Note: this is even worse if the URL was opened from an intent. In that case, Chrome can end up completely bricked because upon restart it will immediately attempt to re-open the URL that crashed it. I could not recover from this without having to fully "Clear Storage". Too late for me. Not even from intent. Chrome force stop later, it still tries to load it and immediately crashes.
On XiaoMi phones at least, this is a system app (see: bloatware). That means you can't clear its app data nor uninstall it, effectively bricking Chrome permanently. The only thing you can do is uninstall the updates, which force resets its persistence, losing all of your stored data/sessions. If you've already done that... tough luck, I guess? What an awful bug.

You mean on Xaiomi OS's (I forget their name).

Off Topic: I don't get it why, after 10 years of mobile browser development, there still is no "close all tabs at end" option. Every time I visit my parents, I have to clean up their 150+ open chrome android tabs because they don't understand how to properly clean up their browsing sessions. Why on earth would I want to open the same old tabs in the morning, that I already looked at the day before?

From some bugs (or serious consequences in fact) they do, don't they?
You can easily shoot yourself in the foot in any language.
But also there are languages which have much higher bars for safety than you seem to have imagined. Notice how WUFFS doesn't have a "Hello, world." example program because printing out Hello, World is way too dangerous to be allowed in WUFFS even on purpose.
I just did and the whole phone was frozen. I couldn't force close Chrome, nor do a graceful power off. After 2 min, a notification came up that allowed me to finally close the browser. Amazing how even after an army of contributors and a fairly old project still has bugs as trivial and yet significant as this one. It's a regression, but even so.
