Chrome crashes computer when I insert USB Ethernet adapter It seems that Chrome causes a crash on macOS whenever I insert a USB Ethernet adapter.

For a long time I didn't know the reason; I just plugged it in and tried it again and again until my Mac accepted it and let me use it. I thought it was just a problem with macOS.

But yesterday, I changed the default browser to Safari, and I was able to successfully use my adapter the whole day. At the end of the day I decided to make Chrome my default browser again, and my Mac crashed.

Today I experimented more and found that whenever I connect to the Internet via Ethernet, everything is OK until I open Chrome. I tried disabling all my plugins but it didn't help. 

What can I do?
It's the realtek drivers which cause the hang which the USB ethernet adaptor tries to use and Chrome seems to get mangled into it.  If you're running the latest Sierra you probably don't actually need these installed.  You can either remove them both through /library/extensions RTL815 or run the scripted uninstaller that comes with the package from
