New Comer Here: Black Page with upside down bird.
-
What better image you want?
It's a whole black page with a white bird in the middle.
It should give at least some indication of what broke, without words if possible as not everyone reads English.

Must be Murphy's law, but since yesterday I didn't get any dead bird page, no matter the visited site or the enabled extensions.
If I start to got them again I'll surely report my findings here.
I'm sorry but I'm still unable to get what's your point.
The OP described clearly what happened, you said that you never seen that bird, I had a chance to grab it's image and I posted it.
From user's POV is more than enough to understand WHAT happened, what's important now is trying to help the DEVs to understand WHEN and WHERE it happens.

My point is that if anyone sees that dead bird icon it tells then nothing at all about what happened.
1. Did their Internet connection drop
2. Was it a javascript error?
3. …The icon and/or message should clearly indicate exactly what the problem was in non-technical terms. An icon could be designed for each case, with short text to clarify what the issue was. Calling something "Guru Meditation" for example is a joke, which soon tires, and again only tells the user that there was a problem. At least tell the user if it was a problem with the coding of the web page, or a problem with their service provider, that a process timed-out, or whatever.

I think the only appropriate notation for the dead bird would be the general case of what it represents, and that is: "This page crashed." Mebbe down the road some script(s) could be developed that would tell the user just what sort of thing happened to the page, but for now at least, instead of the entire UI layer crashing and leaving us with a bunch of zombie processes in the background, at least we get the dead bird. For me, for now, that's OK.

Ok, I think that's a clear case of reciprocal misunderstanding. :S
Now I got it, you replied right after my message, and i got it as a complaint because my screenshot was partial (and I replied accordingly)
Instead you're blaming Google for the poorly informative page, I completely agree with you on that, it's a debatable joke, that become worse because the lack of any additional information.
At least the guru meditation provided some info useful at least for a technician.
I hope that all is clear now.

The black dead bird page can easily be reproduced:
Open a page with a textarea, for example http://www.amazon.com
Enter some text into the textarea and submit it via the keyboard by pressing shift+return
The current tab turns black with upside-down bird and a new tab opens, which should load the result, but also crashes in some different way. It does some loading, but never displays anything. You can reload that page and it will show up, but the tab is still broken in some way, for example hovering over a link doesn't change the pointer or display target url in the status-bar. -
Eeeeeeeek something killed Twitter! Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Confirmed on my system.

Works fine here …
Win7x64 Vivaldi*32

Vivaldi gives me the bird :ohmy: quite often, especially on two websites: weatherunderground.com and titantv.com. I keep these websites pinned in my browser, and I keep the browser open at all times. Vivaldi crashes about once per day, but it's also better than any other browser I have tried (esp. IE!!), so I just restart it and move on.
I am also on Win7x64 Vivaldi*32, technical preview 3.

I'm now in the 'dead bird's club' too
minimalized for a few seconds and next thing I saw was a dead bird -
It seems to be a common occurrence for Vivaldi users.

Not so common. I used to get it on a page I needed all the time for my work. Now that page works fine. I have not seen it, literally, in weeks.

This popped up for me while I was watching a video via Plex.
The media sever is on the same computer, so I am viewing the video via "localhost" (ie. 127.0.0.1:32400/web/index.html )When it happened, I had no idea whether the error was from Vivaldi or the Plex Web application, at least until I found this post via a search for that dead bird picture; which does lead to the point that aside from saying something went wrong, the "message", if you can call a dead bird a message, is not very informative.
