Inox crashes and refuses to start again if Google is made default search engine

[Tank-Missile]

I was trying to add my own custom search engine entry and make it default to remedy issue #118, when suddenly the browser crashed. From then on, the browser would not start until I deleted the configuration folder. Trying to start the browser from the terminal gave the following error:

You sir just made my day. I was able to launch inox and keep it open long enough to switch to the default search engine in time.
My stacktrace looks similar - disabling "everything" did not help the issue as my command line clearly shows.

inox -disable-gpu --disable-extensions --disable-d3d11 --disable-local-storage --disable-notifications --disable-offne-pages --disable-plugin-power-saver --disable-plugins-discovery --disable-sync --disable-translate --disable-webgl --no-experiments --no-sandbox

Also it seems that after changing to the default search engine, searching from the omnibox no longer works, at all. I believe this is related to #118.

I read into issue #118 more and setting --google-base-url="google.com" allows me to do google searches from the address bar without crashes. Obviously, a more permanent solution should be put in place. Just to be clear, adding different search engines other than Google does not cause a crash. I should have been more clear in the title. I need to pay attention to this website's layout more.

I should have been more clear in the title.

You can edit the title to be more suitable.
