Sinсe Google Chrome was updated to 50.x version, it become impossible to work with DevTools. This issue reproduced mostly in "Network" tab. Every time when you click on "request" it takes about 30-40 sec. after that chrome can crash. Tried to delete all extensions, clear cache, and reinstall, but didn't help. Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

I'm running Chrome 50.0.2661.87 m

UPD: The problem may be occurs because of long headers. Try to close response and request headers.

I've been having similar issues for debugging in Chrome versions 50+ on Mac OS X 10.11.3. The only solution I've found so far is to keep the dev tools docked to the right and it seems to be as performant as before. Not the optimal solution, but it works in my case.
