Crash Chrome on Android only if incognito

Library Affected:

“workbox-webpack-plugin”: “^3.6.3”

Browser & Platform:

Google Chrome for Android

Issue or Feature Request Description:

I’m honestly not sure if it’s a support request or an issue but I’m facing a problem with Workbox on Google Chrome for Android but only in incognito mode.

I’m developing a tool to ship presentation as PWA. If I open the presentation and swipe some slides, after a while the all browser crash respectively the Chrome app will crash.

I don’t face the problem if I don’t use the incognito mode neither I have been able to catch any logs.

If I remove the service worker respectively Workbox, the problem doesn’t happen.

How to I use workbox?

const {GenerateSW} = require('workbox-webpack-plugin');

plugins.push(new GenerateSW({
            ignoreUrlParametersMatching: [/./]
        }));

Reproduce the error

1. On an Android phone
2. Open Google Chrome
3. Open an incognito tab
4. Go to https://deckdeckgo.com
5. Swipe a couple of slides

-> crash

Note

At first I thought it was linked to some Web Components I use, like gif or charts, but turns out I could reproduce the problem in another presentation too which is way more simple (url: https://studio.deckdeckgo.com, source: https://github.com/deckgo/deckdeckgo-studio-landing)

Thx in advance for any help!

I wouldn’t say that it’s a dead end—the info from chrome://crashes will actually result in meaningful debug data making it to the relevant engineering team, and I’m sure that they would appreciate the bug report.

For the record, a couple of months later, can’t reproduce it, I guess it has been solved 😃
