ain't got time for that. happened in both firefox (locked down with lot of privacy settings/adblockers) and chrome (no privacy/adblockers etc). froze entire computer on both browsers for a few minutes for each browser. my computer has like 16gb of RAM
If your whole computer's freezing, you can't blame a website for that. That would mean there's a pretty serious vulnerability in both browsers. If you really believe that, you should tell the browser vendors, not the website operator.
Runs fine for me. Perhaps a bit more investigation on your end before putting fault on the site and authors?
i spent ten minutes waiting for the computer to be unfrozen + write up these comments. i'm already being generous enough with my time after those 10 minutes, especially by describing how i tested in different browsers. if you can't see that, not my problem!

I'm with the commenter: when my first (or within 15 minute) impression of a vendor or product is craptastic I cut my losses and consider myself lucky for dodging a longer term bullet.
The commenter was actually very considerate and raised a warning where it might be seen. And they were kind enough to attempt this with two different browsers. After that you can buy my troubleshooting time at its usual hourly rate.
(Because it's a frequent enough issue: I wouldn't see that warning as being about a one-off obscure bug that will affect few people and doesn't matter. It's a warning that the web site probably did not enough take compatibility in consideration - and was approved without such consideration.)
"Runs fine for me" is an absurd bar for reliability / compatibility, no?
