All new tabs crash, existing tabs are able to open tabs that work (granted they are for the same domain)

Reported by parasdee...@gmail.com, Nov 1 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2902.0 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
It's difficult to reproduce, as I'm not aware of any initial conditions that might cause it but this is definitely not the first time I've seen it. 

It tends to happen after prolonged use of the browser (not closing it for days on end)

What is the expected behavior?
Click on new tab --> opens a new tab

What went wrong?
The tab icon turns to a crash icon.
Tab's becomes a dark gray background with no clickability. I'm not able to see the typical "something went wrong..." window 
Address bar becomes just as redundant.

Crashed report ID: No, since it's only a tab crash

How much crashed? Just one tab

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? No 

Chrome version: 56.0.2902.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

If I already have some opened tabs, they will function as expected (if I accidently close them, I can't bring them back).
I can even open new tabs via the already opened tabs ONLY if the new tab wants to access a website from the same domain as the source tab.

Hack: Have google.com opened, if the tabs crash, simple google search the site you want to access and open that in a new tab. Since all links are redirected through Google servers; the new tab opens regardless of destination.

Could you please let us know if this is consistently reproducible.
I've tried to collect data whenever it happens but fail to do so as I'm not familiar with chrome's internal crash reporters. Could you guide me on where I can access some kind of stats when the crash happens again (so I can find a way to reproduce it).

Also, I forgot to mention that when this happens, chrome seems to jump back to normal functionality after a while (20-30 mins or so) and tabs function as normal.

parasdeep29@ Could you please respond on comment #4.

Thank You!
Apologies. Yeah I've been trying to catch a bug report but it's really difficult to reproduce it. I'll spend more effort on it and see if that yields me something.
parasdeep29@ Could you please confirm are you still facing this issue on latest chrome version ?
I haven't observed it in the recent build (57.0.2950.4 dev) but I've positively seen it in the previous build. 
UPDATE: I've just observed a similar crash in the recent build. It happened when I used the middle click button on an http hyperlink, missing the "www" prefix from the link pointing to a location that redirects (the link in the accepted answer in this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11854772/how-can-i-quickly-and-effectively-debug-cloudformation-templates) SO post).

The crash did not affect other newly opened tabs, but it conformed to the crashes observed earlier. Additionally, the crashes ceased once I typed the full address (with the "www") and the site was able to reach the redirected destination.

Again, this might not be the actual cause because I could only produce it for the link twice (while trying other links which worked as expected); I thought it's worth a mention though.

No, I don't have crash data, since this is a work computer

Unable to reproduce the issue on win10 chrome version 57.0.2950.4 and canary 57.0.2969.0 - mouse middle click on any hyperlink opens the related webpage in new tab as expected

Could you please upgrade to latest chrome version and see if issue still exists

No crash observed in the latest version. Please note, this was not a sure way of producing the crash. Just happen to work in a particular circumstance.

I'll be sure to post more updates as things progress.

Restoring this to the triage queue.
Tested on chrome latest canary #57.0.2978.0 on win 10.0 and not able to reproduce the issue.
As per comment #16 we need to check the issue on more latest builds.So not changing the status.

Thank You!
It still occurs as of M56, though I've not seen it (yet) on today's update (which instead introduced https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=682404 ).

I've tried to generate a crash ID for it, but Chrome doesn't record crash IDs for this. Even though earlier today there were at least 20 "tab crashes" (since I restarted the browser without fully exiting, and every reload crashed), the crash reporter shows 0 recent crashes.
