Devtools constantly freeze or crash

cole

... this is probably the most significant issue preventing me from moving over to Orion completely, as I have to keep Firefox open to do any debugging.

Steps to reproduce:
I haven't so far been able to find a consistent reproduction, but this happens to me 4-5 times a day:

I have a webpage open that I'm working on, so devtools are open.
After a couple page transitions, refreshes, devtools either explicitly crashes (rarer) or (more commonly) freezes (i.e. I cannot click on any tab or button in devtools)

Expected behavior:
Devtools should not crash or freeze

Orion, OS version; hardware type:
Version 0.99.114.1-beta (WebKit 614.1.12), M1 Max, Monterey 12.3

Image/Video:
Don't have any video.

cole I've noticed it few times too. Looking for a way to reproduce it so we can debug the issue.

Vlad I see crashes or freezes most often when right clicking something on the page and selecting "Inspect element"

cole Looking just for one reproducible case 🙂

For me this happens consitently every single time I open the devtools on localhost. Not sure if its only for specific projects but I can't use Orion at work for that reason.

This is also a problem for me. Working on a NextJS project and I can't really use the devtools at all. Opening them causes the page to freeze, can't inspect elements at all, and when closing them the page stays frozen for up to a couple minutes.

For a browser that is otherwise almost perfect it's very frustrating.

Same here. Nextjs project on localhost causes a freeze when opening the devtools.
