How a load-balancing bug led to worldwide Chrome crashes
The last discussion was mostly about how the title was linkbait. I want to hear people's opinions on whether they think it's appropriate for a browser (Chrome) to be designed such that it doesn't operate independently- that it can be crashed (or self destruct bug, insert your own word here) by a remote server at any time.To my knowledge, Firefox doesn't do that. Safari doesn't do that. Internet browsers are probably the #1 most important app on a computer these days, browser reliability is vital.
