Ask HN: Has Hacker News been unusable on Chrome for anyone else? I'm running into a frustrating issue where Google Chrome slows down or goes into a loading state while reading big threads on hackernews. (For example this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41002195
or this post:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45427982
) All I have to do is start clicking the minimize button on threads and my entire PC stops responding. I have a really beefy setup so its most likely not from there Has anyone else run into this? So far been able to replicate on: - Windows 11, Chrome v140.0.7339.208 Also tried incognito mode in Chrome, disabled all extensions. Interestingly, doesn't happen on macOS. |
