The bug also affects latest versions of Opera while opening the special characters in Firefox causes the browser to load deformed url. If you want to try out the bug just type out
into your browser address bar. However the bug does not affect Chrome on Mac PCs or on Android smartphones. Though some users have noted that the Chrome build on Android smartphones returns the dreadful ‘Aw! Snap’ error page. The bug is caused to incorrect handling of the parameters in the characters. Both %30 is decoded to 0, then %00 is decoded to null, which then crashes Chrome. The bug has been reported to the Google security team here. Even on this page, if you take your mouse towards where the specially crafted URL is given can crash your Chrome tab. Surprisingly my browser did not crash when I copy pasted the URL into this article.
