For example (assuming it's not a problem peculiar to my machine) you should be able to see this behavior for yourself by going to this link:

and trying to expand the comment by "Brian_K_White" by clicking the ”[17 more]” link.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or is it just on my end?
My fix happened to made some iterative code recursive. Recursive code plus CPU fan rather suggests a stack overflow, doesn't it... I'll look into it.
Edit: I've reverted the change so you can happily expand your [17 more]. Will see if I can fix better.
Edit 2: should be fixed better now.
This is so strange. The freezing happens both on my desktop (Chrome, Firefox, Tor) and my phone (Chrome Android).
Might be something peculiar with my setup...
Edit: I've now tested it on Windows, Android and iPhone and seen the same freezing behavior, both from residential and CGNAT IPs.
