[NSC] NSC causing browser to hang today - anyone else?

[AZ Gull]

Four times today my chrome browser has locked up when I have opened up a new tab (or tabs) in NSC. Whilst I have other tabs open, I'm pretty sure it has been NSC causing the issue. In each case I have had to use "End Task" to shut down chrome and re-start. Has anyone else experienced this?

Could it be a rogue ad @Bozza?

I had that yesterday. I knew when it was going to happen, as the cursor flickered for a second or two.
It appears to have sorted itself out now.

Yep have had issues. Browser freezing

Not going to pretend to be an expert on this, but generally whenever a site change has been made and problems occur, Bozza normally recommends clearing cookies relating to NSC and then seeing if the problem persists.

I’d always say it’s worth a try if problems seem site-specific and there is an option somewhere in Chrome to only clear cookies that relate to a specific site.

Are you a loyal supporter? Have you been assimilated?
Is it just the new two tier service in full effect?

I've been having similar issues on mobile chrome for weeks now. NSC also crashes other apps.

The perfect ignore thread for lickers!

I'd rather hang NSC-131. These people are serious and they are out there working.

You are being redirected...

I did mention this to @Bozza a couple of days ago. It's to do with adverts. Not just me then

An unusual thing that's been happening to me recently, for the past 2 weeks or so - NSC will work fine on my iPhone while connected to WIFI, but if I'm using mobile data (5G) nothing loads, I just get a blank white page. I'm browsing from Greece so probably something to do with DNS or IP issues.

Nothing has changed at all on my end, so it is likely a rogue ad.

These are notoriously difficult to trace due to the way ad targeting works. I'm on NSC for much of the day nearly every day on both Chrome and Safari, and I've not had an issue at all.

I'll raise it with the ad partner, but if you can DM me screenshots when it happens, it may help if I'm able to spot any kind of commonality in what is on screen.

When it happens to me on mobile, it's hard to screenshot. The screen freezes while it cycles through telling me about non-browser apps that have crashed, before then crashing (and closing) Chrome. When I re-open Chrome, it'll open back up on the page I was on *before* the crash happened. Reported it back in August here: https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/nsc-crashing-android-device-last-night.403063/

It's been bad enough that I've pretty much stopped using NSC on mobile at all. Will give it another go over the next few days, as I can see the StreamTime thing has disappeared (which might prove / disprove my theory from back in August, and would then suggest that the similar issue some have had on desktop Chrome are unrelated).

I have noticed that NSC is very memory intensive. I have 4 tabs open. FB, BBC Sport and a Toyota forum. Those 3 average 70-80MB. NSC currently using 465MB

I get that too sometimes on chrome, having to resort to Championship level browser of Samsung.

I've had the same issue for a few weeks.
