DO NOT attempt this game if you have any important work open in your Google Chrome browser. Don't say we didn't warn you.</div>

Remember earlier this week when security researchers found a simple string of 16 characters that could <em>CRASH</em> any Google Chrome browser?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes, it caused chaos for us too, although it wasn't quite as frustrating as these iMessage and <a href="http://www.express.co.uk/life-style/science-technology/581900/Skype-Bug-Glitch-Crash-Endless-Loop-Sign-Out-Fix-Workaround">Skype bugs</a>!</div>

A clever developer has now turned the unfortunate Google glitch – which involves typing <strong>http://a/%%30%30</strong> into the URL field – and <a href="https://github.com/szhu/3030" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">transformed it into a nail-biting online game.</a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="https://github.com/szhu/3030" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">free-to-play game</a> takes advantage of the bug and turns it into a MineSweeper-<em>esque</em> online game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Players are asked to tentatively move their computer mouse along a maze of bears emojis – avoiding a forest of <em>glitch-triggering</em> tree icons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's a bit like an old fairground buzz wire game – but with much higher stakes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<em><a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/">NewsNewsBlog.blogspot.com</a> </em>recommends closing down any important or unsaved work from your Google browser before attempting the game (especially when attempting the infuriating fourth level).</div>
