How? Couldn't you even drop to another TTY and kill the process?
I'd bet money OP didn't even try or doesnt know how to do that.
I've never once had an application in Linux crash the whole OS - or at least not so long as I've had physical access to the machine (I've had rouge database requests brick a server before because it took down sshd - but that's a different story)
In fact on the laptop I'm on now, the parent link crashed Firefox. But it OOM'ed and got killed before I even noticed there was a problem (and that's on a beefy desktop environment with compositing enabled too)

Many people are doing some pretty amazing things with WebGL: http://wp.me/puh71-9M
The only amazing stuff is the distribution mechanism really. Other stuff is just plain old OpenGL but in your browser this time. It is not like it has some crazy support for raytraced voxels or something.
That's the main thing, but not the only thing.
WebGL is also very portable, more than other flavors of GL. Huge effort has gone into that. As a result there is a much better chance a WebGL app will give the same output on different browsers/OSes/GPUs (and if it does not, that's a bug that should be fixed).
WebGL is also more secure than OpenGL, since it was designed to run in a web browser, that executes unsafe code off the web.

I wish I had read that first :/ Crashed my whole system Chromium 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 12.04
Just took out that tab for me in windows. Seems like something else is probably going on for you.

Also, the textures are not fully detailed when looking directly at the floor and walls.
If this is supposed to be a full quality benchmark (ala Unigine Heaven when it came out), it needs to improve.
This is so awesome that I never want to see another WebGL demo again. This one proves it; you can make awesome games in WebGL. From now on I only want to read about non-demo WebGL games that are in development with a real release date.
On Firefox 20 on Windows on my 2500k with a 7970 it seems CPU bound and can only achieve 43fps benchmark at 1920x1200, while having some clear artifacts from lack/too little texture anisotropy on the floor and antialiasing issues.
