I think we have to wait for a patch or downgrade chrome.

EDIT: It seems to be something caused by the chrome developer tools: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17367560/chrome-development-tool-vm-file-from-javascript

EDIT3: Seems that the solution of user gotoken is not a permanent one. Error reappears after some time. BetterHistory Extension needs to be patched.
