The Page is completely nonfunctional for me on a low-end Windows laptop on either Firefox or Chrome.

The viewport is empty and black. Devtools shows that the page is spending all it's time adding countless SVGs, but placing them in a div with overflow: hidden so they're all invisible.

Oddly the page appears to work without issue if I put the browser in mobile emulation mode.

Firefox had blocked the HTML5 canvas data request for me, which broke the page as you outlined. Once I allowed the canvas data request, and refreshed, the page eventually loaded correctly.

It works for me, both in Chrome and Firefox on a laptop that is neither high end nor low end. Maybe, try again as I see you posted this about an hour ago??
