Steps to reproduce:
Have any extension installed and with permission set to "allow". Sometimes tabs will randomly just "hang", i.e. the page won't refresh, if you click on a link it won't load, etc. The progress bar will get stuck. The only fix is to restart Orion.

Orion and macOS:
0.99.108.1-beta (WebKit 613.1.10), macOS Monterey

    Vlad I haven't figured out how to reproduce it, it will just happen randomly as I browse around.
    What do you mean by clean Orion?

        catch-22 Clean Orion would be like a fresh install of the browser (ie. default preferences, no extensions).

            This issue doesn't happen when extensions are turned off, or with permission denied to the page, so it doesn't make much sense to do that. Clearly it's some sort of conflict with enabled extensions

              Vlad Here's a video of the issue happening. Tends to happen quite often while browsing theguardian.com, I'll get a webkit error and then tabs will get stuck unless I disable extensions with permission, or restart Orion

                  Vlad I've figured out that this is being caused by uBlock Origin. I can reproduce it quite easily by having it as the only extension installed and browsing around on theguardian.com, which eventually causes the webkit error and renders the browser unusable till uBlock Origin is disabled or Orion restarted.

                      Vlad changed the title to uBO is causing tabs to hang .

                        catch-22 Thanks for detailed report, we should have fixed the cause for this

                            @catch-22 would you be able to confirm whether it's still an issue? I wasn't able to reproduce it.
