Example URL:
chrome://newtab

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open new tab page

What is the expected behavior?
New tab page loads

What went wrong?
New tab page doesn't load

Does it occur on multiple sites: No

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? Yes A week ago

Does this work in other browsers? Yes 

Chrome version: 50.0.2661.87  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2)
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

It looks like the page is stuck in a loop while trying to loading chrome-search://local-ntp/local-ntp.html via the service worker. In the attachment, it is passed through a security appliance at our company and then endlessly loops the local-ntp page and spikes my CPU.

I can get the page to load temporarily, by unregistering this service worker: https://www.google.com/_/chrome/newtab-serviceworker.js from chrome://serviceworker-internals. It is automatically re-registered after the first load, so it's not a permanent fix
