With the release of Chrome 72, the browser solved the main problem that caused the browser to crash: code injection.

In the early days of browsers, the only way for third-party applications and Chrome to provide additional functionality to users was to inject code into the browser.

With the expansion of Chrome and ecological development, this approach is not being promoted. But some applications still serve users by code injection, which accounts for 15% of all browser crashes.
