Google chrome keeps freezing - only on MN?

When I use MN on my Sony Xperia 10 VI 5g using Google Chrome it keeps freezing. If I use any other websites on my phone or browse MN on Google Chrome on my Chromebook, it doesn't freeze, ever.

Everything's up to date and my phone is new

Any ideas please?

Same on Safari

Same. Have a Samsung.

Mine literally just froze. Can't even back key. There was a dell ad at the top.

I wonder if it's all the moving ads are too much for the phone. Ira making mn unusable.

Me too- just last week or so

FatsiaJaponicaInTheGarden · 11/12/2024 21:53

Gosh that's a relief I thought it was my phonr. Samsung galaxy as well but only a couple of years old.

I keep having to restart chrome.

LindorDoubleChoc · 11/12/2024 21:50

I use Chrome browser on my Samsung phone, and my laptop is a Chromebook. Mumsnet continually freezes on both for the last month or so - hence I spend a lot less time here lately.

It hangs for me on a tablet using various browsers.

Craftymam · 11/12/2024 21:46

Me too relieved 🤣 thought I might need to add a new device to the Xmas list.

Android chrome it freezes on those giant ads

Heartbreaktuna · 11/12/2024 21:40

Same. Android. Chrome

InSpainTheRain · 11/12/2024 21:35

Me too. It's certain ads that I only see if on mumsnet. It reminds me not to spend too long on here!

While I'm here can I also add that the 'Thanks' button is also dodgy, and the tagging posters scrolly thing is driving me to distraction!

How apt! I just came back to edit to add that it is being particularly frequent tonight and guess what - it crashed again 😆
Case in point!

Same here, I had an ancient phone and assumed it was just that but I have just switched to a new model and it still keeps doing it.

EmpressaurusKitty · 11/12/2024 21:02

I had that on my iPhone on Chrome but it stopped when I switched to reading MN on Safari.

Applesandpears23 · 11/12/2024 20:54

Same issue on safari on iphone.

TourmaletAndCoubous · 11/12/2024 19:43

Same here, Dell laptop, chrome browser. Have to restart, all tabs become unresponsive. Laptop fan always starts blowing like crazy before it locks up.

Printedword · 11/12/2024 19:14

Interesting, I thought all the freezing on Safari was down to the new iOS but you’ve got me wondering.

Before anyone says it, no I don’t use the app for MN. I don’t want everything on an app

soupfiend · 11/12/2024 19:07

I have to restart the whole laptop, all the tabs at the top become unresponsive too, I cant just close down MN

soupfiend · 11/12/2024 19:06

Oh how funny I get this all the time. I was blaming the laptop. OH has run all the updates and cleaners or whatevber it is people do

So not just me then

Fartooold · 11/12/2024 19:05

Happens to me all the time. Just close MN down and restart works, but shouldn't have to!

BlueRaincoat1 · 11/12/2024 19:04

Ah me too, it's very annoying. Happens quite a lot. On a samsung phone.

Chroomy · 11/12/2024 19:02

I am so relieved to read this.

I thought my phone was broke, just realised it is only on MN.

JenniferGreenHat · 11/12/2024 19:02

Same here, on my iPhone. Every time I try and go on Mumsnet it happens, it becomes unresponsive. It doesn’t happen on any other website.

Meredusoleil · 11/12/2024 18:49

Same here. Also on a Samsung phone 😬
