What can cause a Chrome browser extension to crash?

My browser extension is crashing. I cannot find a comprehensive list of things that crash extensions.

My assumption is that anything that causes a standard Chrome tab to crash would cause the extension to crash when run in the Background.html file.

I've contemplated the following problems...

• Infinite loops or other instances of a script becoming unresponsive
• Uncaught exceptions (eg, a JSON.parse with no try/catch)
• Database storage errors
• Excessive resource usage (??)

2 operations seemed to be possible culprits: writing to localStorage and using console.log

I've previously observed that it's possible to crash a normal chrome tab by using console.log repeatedly with large objects in a website if you leave the page open for an extended period. Because background.js is always open, it seems like a likely culprit.

tl;dr Don't use console.log in production. Ever.
