stackblitz
A few webcontainer examples that crash Chrome (aw snap)
Describe the bug
I filed a few Chromium issues based on some crashes with stackblitz webcontainers. But I guess they are useful for you guys as well. Chrome inttel on a wide range of versions is affected
https://issues.chromium.org/issues/404281206
The crashes occur during npm install mostly when package-lock.json is removed from the project (so npm install probably requires more Chrome window resources)

This version does not crash but it completely freezes during the npm install. Pressing Ctrl-C in the terminal and removing the vitest dependency allows for a succesful npm install. https://stackblitz.com/edit/tv1ndoh4-1mbvqpfk
Adding one more package in package.json gets us to the (so far) minimum project that crashes Chrome. It only crashes on Intel, not Arm. see https://issues.chromium.org/issues/404464582 https://stackblitz.com/edit/tv1ndoh4-ggxjkkzp

The browser window crashes during the npm install
Parity with Local
- [x] I have run the project in my local machine and I could not reproduce the issue.

Platform
- OS: Mac OS 15.3.1 (24D70)
- Browser: Chrome
- Version: 134.0.6998.89 (Official Build) (x86_64)
Note that this issue occurs on a wide range of Macs (intel at least) and Chrome versions. Above is the latest.
Additional context
No response
It's probably because Chrome runs out of memory that it crashes, no? Probably not something Chrome can fix?
I don't think it's as simple as memory (it happens on a wide range of systems) but it's most probably a chrome bug
