Youtube freezes
Crazy_Chris It works for me, so we'd need step to reproduce
not sure the root clause but https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/473972-youtube-js-engine-tamer might help. Install Violentmonkey to install it.
cyfung1031 We always prefer to fix the problem not the symptom so I encourage discussion that leads to identifying it.
I have been having the same issue. But I have noticed it seems like over time the latency of the browser builds over time. Eventually YouTube stops working and then most web sites I try to use get super slower.
AlphaCluster This is all happening with a new clean orion profile too?

Hi, just created an account to report this issue when I stumbled on this post. I experience the same problem, here's the report I originally typed
Sometimes, opening a Youtube video and clicking fullscreen (or pressing F) will freeze the page. Nothing will move, scroll, keyboard and mouse are unresponsive in the tab, but audio will keep playing. Others tabs are unaffected and closing the tab is quick.
This doesn't happen every time (once every 10-20 videos approx.), and seems unrelated to whether or not the system is overloaded (there is plenty of CPU and memory left.)
Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to replicate this
I have no extensions installed, running on a Macbook Pro 2,6 GHz 6 core i7, Radeon Pro 560X 4 GB, and running a 49" monitor as my only display (clamshell mode).
EDIT: refreshing the page doesn't work, the screen stays frozen, I have to close it and re-open the link in a new tab

The setInterval/setTimeout issue also can freeze YouTube.
YouTube's core relies on the timer stuffs.

Hardware:
Macbook Pro 2018 i7 32GB
MacOS 14.3.1 (23D60)
Orion: Version 0.99.126.4.1-beta (WebKit 618.1.2)
One way to "reliably" reproduce this is after a long sleep. It happens pretty regularely when I wake up my mac, or sometimes after switching to a new profile.
Let me know if there're any logs I can provide to help debug this
Any way we could help debugging this @Vlad @cyfung1031 ?
Lets check with the latest beta when it is out.
