Bug Description
The Chromium extension keeps crashing when I open WebApps enabled sites. The last 2 times it was when I opened Facebook.com (I had selected to never ask again for Facebook.com but it did again and it showed some weird diamond-shaped characters (as if some could not load)) and Gmail.com.
I don't know how I can provide more information since there is no Ubuntu crash window since it's in Ubuntu.
The longest (active browsing-)time the plugin did not crash here is around an hour, it always crashed for some reason.
[Test Case]
- open an empty chromium,
- open a tab and navigate to a URL for which a WebApp is available but NOT installed (e.g. facebookmessenger),
- wait until you see an infobar inviting one to install the WebApp,
- reload the page until one sees the crash, it usually occurs during the next 2 refreshes,
[Regression Potential]
None, the fix is small and mitigated. The worse that can happen is a memory leak (not the case though).

Here is an example of what happens when it crashes on Facebook.com
(Note that I had clicked "Never ask for this site" many times before.)
