Anyone else getting this? It happens at random when loading a page (sometimes main, but anywhere, even after "Preview Post") the site will pretty much lock my browser's tab. If I'm lucky it'll time out with an error and I can kill the page then reload, but it's very irritating, and I can't troubleshoot it 'cause by the time I know something's happened, that tab is useless.
This happens on Chrome in OS-X (Mountain Lion), Windows 7, and Android, as well as Safari (haven't tried it on IE). It seems like a site-script gone haywire. Please note that I have absolutely no plugins on Safari, and it still locks.

It happens momentarily when the site is being re-indexed or some maintenance..
Nothing major

So I try browsing the forums and learing about my Epic 4g. But every fourm page takes 90 seconds before I can scroll and look around. It's not my computer or internet because I am a member on 10 other various forums and I have never had a single problem like this.
It looks like the adds are causing the problem. The page loads, but it still said waiting on add.....? at the lower left bar on the browser. And every time it throwser IEX into not responding. Then it finally after 90 seconds starts and I can scroll just fine.
And Ideas on what I can do to resolve this? It's really a pain waiting that lng for the page to load.
if your on Chrome try using an ad blocking extension
So I was a first day adopter, no biggie I thought. My attitude is changing on this every day now. It seems like my internet (stock browser) keeps kicking off with the "Unfortunately..." error. I'll be browsing and it pops up. Once it closes down I select the internet again and it seems to work and reloads the page but then it craps out and errors again and clears the cache. This is getting annoying.
Then there is the display. I have a few icons and the google now/search bar that keep going static looking (like bad reception on a tv). I have to flip the rotation of the screen to get them to display correctly again.
Anyone else having this problem?
I forgot to mention that I've done all the resets, including taking out the battery.
This happens quite a lot to me while browsing the Web on phone. While scrolling down it looks like Chrome has locked up but eventually it starts scrolling again.
Anyone else had this issue and addressed it?

I've noticed on some sites that are meant to load the next part of a webpage before you get to it, this happens and may be what is happening here. Things like ad-blockers and data-saving features in other browsers can help, but by the nature of these sites, it is inevitable no matter what device you are using.
I wanted to chime in and say that I have noticed my chrome locks up too. Came across this article: http://drippler.com/drip/how-make-chrome-faster-android
I am trying some of the tips now. Thought I would share it.
Try to uninstall it and try taking odd the battery and reinstall it once the phone comes back on. I do that to a lot of apps that lag and seems to be working.
I had this issue as well, but it only seemed to last for a couple of days last week. I am on Beta if that matters. I cleared the cache, because thats the smart thing to do whenever anything seems wonky. It also is the smart thing to do anytime. Not sure if it helped or not, but I haven't had the issue since.
I used to get an issue with blank screens when loading pages after the cache started hitting 500mb or so. Clearing the cache fixed that, but that also hasn't happened in a long time. Maybe these things are related. I just wrote it off as the pain of using beta.
Anyone else having problems when attempting to post to threads?
I'm using Chrome on Win 10 and after I submit my post I'll get the "waiting for xda-developers.com" on the bottom left of Chrome and after a minute or two the page will timeout.
This isn't every time...but it is about 25%-50% of the time.
I've had this problem as long as I can remember, as in years. Browser will seem to get "stuck" but the post will still show up as intended. As you said, not every time, but pretty frequently. Are your posts still showing up?
Have you noticed random web page freezes (around 10 seconds), when writing posts using Google Chrome with Samsung Keyboard, Spell Checking on? Not browser, just the web page.
I even noticed a couple of freezes when browsing through online stores, and I think it's related to a keyboard, because I brought it up when changing product quantity numbers.
Spell checking also appears to be broken. When word is underlined indicating there's spelling error, clicking word only shows empty box, this leads me to believe it's related to freezes.
If you experienced it, have you figured out a way to fix this?
When writing long posts, these occasional freezes can wreak chaos, because while page is frozen, any additional words you type and accidental edits you make, appear after page unfreezes. It also wastes time, because if you're editing something in the middle of the text, you can't continue writing, and have to wait for unfreeze.
Off-topic question:
When writing a long post, accidentally hitting back or home button can be upsetting - the post is gone. Can you make browser remember these posts, so you can return and continue writing? So far my solution is to select all and copy, which is tedious.
Thanks.
Update
I noticed Chrome freezes randomly even without opening Samsung keyboard, simply browsing the web and page freezes. I also thought it's not the browser but the web page, but opening tab switcher while the page is frozen and opening a new tab sometimes (when the page freezes randomly while browsing the web), freezes entire browser, after around 10 seconds browser unfreezes. Any fix suggestions or what can be causing this? Tried wiping cache, but didn't help, I don't think reinstall will help, but I'll try it after some backing up.
Try this test, browse, XDA for example, through Chrome on your S20 devices for a weak, no PC or other devices or apps, write posts, etc, and report your results here. I also don't have any ad-blocking/ad-free, so to reproduce this enable ads as well.
Also, try using it with Samsung keyboard to maybe make problem more reproducible. Enable spell checking in keyboard settings, so words become underlined. Also enable dark mode.
I'm worried maybe it's RAM? Or SSD?
Hope not.. * sigh *
Edit
Searched the web more thoroughly this time, and apparently this is a big issue. Google search: s20 chrome freezing.
Some think it's related to 120 Hz mode, but then report it's freezing on 60 Hz as well, so seems like not refresh rate related. People even report this freezing occurs on Android system WebView powered apps.
No fix yet.
