I have the exact same problem on youtube.com
Websites not clickable (tab freeze/lock)
suspending is still the only way to work around this issue. This happens in a lot of websites randomly, I hope there is a fix to this in the upcoming release.
The latest RC version (0.99.126.4.1.12-rc) has less frequent freeze (in my personal experience so far). However, it still occurs. Here is my webcontent process sample:
another freeze sample
This one is produced on a clean profile. The website is unresponsive to scrolling, however it does respond to some other functions like video pausing. Some webcontent seems never loaded up.
Another freeze at Temu.com, produced in a fresh install clean profile.
Steps to reproduce:
Example 1:
- Start Orion
- browse to https://www.spiegel.de/
- App freezes once the site has loaded
Example 2:
- Start Orion
- browse to https://nwn.blogs.com/nwn/2023/02/richard-bartle-crypto-circle-blockchain-nft-virtual-worlds.html
- wait 60 seconds
- App freezes
Both sites work fine in Safari Version 16.3 (16614.4.6.11.4, 16614).
Safari does however not finish loading example 2.
Similar beachball freezes are happening on different sites.
There is no excessive use of CPU or memory involved.
Some sites unfreeze after about 3min waiting
Expected behavior:
no freeze

Thanks for all the excellent work!
There may be more than one issue. I tried both examples again with ublock deactivated:
- Example 1 does work now for about 60s before it freezes.
- Example 2 freezes as described above after 60.
cant reproduce it on both links, they work normal here.

Console Screenshots:
- Loading a page that freezes
- during the freeze
- loaded page, no freeze
- Loading a page that does not freeze
Can confirm this, it's pretty much every website for me after the website fully loads. Including this one
I can confirm freezing behaviours when switching between pages. See clip below where I am scrolling up and down, going back a page and then forward again.

Anyone reporting issues about this, please confirm if they still happen on a new clean orion profile and if not help us debug from there.
I also experience freezes whenever I try to tap a link in certain pages. Page reload needed, often not even the reload will work.
Those two sites don't freeze for me, but the AHA site does freeze and it doesn't do it on chrome.
Try https://ebooks.heart.org and see for yourself.
I'm running into this today. Brand new profile on clean install.

It seems to happen on pretty much anywebsite. I just had it happen here on orionfeedback.org immediately after uploading the attached movie to this post.
A page works fine for a bit, then suddenly appears to become completely unresponsive. Strangely I can still interract with the page, but there are no updates being rendered. Switching tabs or swithing to another window (or clicking the address bar) trigger a new render.
It's repeatedly happened here as well.
