Well just the other day there was a bug that causes iOS to restart if a webpage is structured in a particular way

Edit for more information: I've been using iOS 12 on my SE for a while (beta) and while in all honesty I've not really found anything particularly great, more importantly I've not had any non-beta-related issues - slowdowns or otherwise

I am looking forward to playing with shortcuts, but have yet to

This hasn't been fixed; the build that went out was the same as the golden master seeded to developers last week that was still susceptible.

Is this triggered by many "real" websites, or just by a site that's designed to trigger it, e. g. a proof of concept? Is it a security risk or just annoying?

Common theme in application security: crashes are either exploitable, or not yet exploitable. Unless the app crashes in a completely static and 100% repeatable way, there's a good chance someone is working on creating a specific, exploitable setup using it...

It was a proof of concept; something like a thousand divs overflowing a buffer or something like that. I haven't seen anyone write an exploit for it.
