Shall we say you "want" a solution?

Well, that may or may not be a good advice. Syntax is not only typing 
brevity, but also readability, beauty of the text, and even processor speed.

So?

so?

No question by you yet.

Well, I did not see that code. 
We cannot discuss about that you do not show.

Did your browser crash as you said, or not?

Do away with your infinite loop, methinks.

An infinite loop is stupid, but not a syntax error.
Your forgetting a closing ")" however, is a syntax error.

I showed you this solution, 
the full-blown reduction of your code:

===============
var bool = false;
console.log("Less is more!");
===============

You see, a loop that does not look can be thrown out.

========================

The question remains: 
"What do you want your code to do?"

Showing a code that does not do what you want it to do
really needs an explanation of what you want it to do,
otherwise how are we ever to understand what you want?
