This website makes by browser freeze... No idea why. Not able to read the article.

Author here -- that is surprising. What browser/OS are you on? I haven't had anyone else report this problem before.

I’m seeing the same problem, the page crashes on Safari on iOS, saying a problem repeatedly occurred. Haven’t seen a webpage do that in quite a while.

Yep, same experience, same platform. I guess straight to reader mode, it is.

EDIT - shockingly, reader mode also fails completely after the page reloads itself

I'm seeing the same problem--the page crashes on mobile (Brave). On desktop it loads, but all of the code cells have a crashed page symbol in them.

Same issue on Android using Brave.

same on chrome android

I'm also seeing this on Android Chrome. When I opened the page on my Linux desktop, I also saw the crashes (though they only affected the godbolt iframes).

Note that on Android process separation is not usually as good, so a crashing iframe can bring down the whole page.

same for me. Chrome on Pixel 8

Same here: Chrome on a Google Pixel 4a. Page freezes while scrolling down and eventually oh-snaps.

This happened to me too (Safari on iOS).

Here’s a archived link:

Same, the web view in my Android client crashed after a couple seconds.

I wonder if it's all the Godbolt iframes. Do you have the same problem on other pages, like https://blog.reverberate.org/2025/01/27/an-ode-to-header-fil... ?

Other pages on the site work fine for me yeah. But the OP blog post is crashing my Android browser, like the other commenters have mentioned.

Yeah, I think it's all those iframes. I'm seeing something weird on my Linux desktop - all the godbolt iframes crash on reload unless I have another tab with godbolt open. I didn't see anything obvious in Chrome's log.

I can't replicate the crash at all on my Linux cloud VM though. Usually the only difference there is that advertisers tend to not buy ads for clients on cloud IPs.

Yeah no problem on other pages
