Kinja Problems?

Anybody else having issues with Kinja sites becoming unresponsive after multiple tabs have been opened from links on the page? Been happening for a little over a month now. It happens to me on my mac, work PC, and home PC (which has 32 GB of RAM so I can’t imagine it being hardware limitation even with Chrome’s insane usage rates). The only thing they have in common is running adblock, but I’ve whitelisted almost all the domains. Running on Chrome like every sane person surfing the internet.

I know I’ve heard rumblings about Kinja development being in a bit of a holding pattern due to the uncertain nature of the media group as a whole, but that seems unlikely given that they’ve migrated even more sites to the platform recently.

I’ve had this issue to for a couple of week on both my home and work PCs. My work PC I might have been willing to chalk up to a hardware limitation with all the chrome tabs open, but with my home PC being a Ryzen 7 machine with 32GB of RAM and an 8GB RX 580... it ain’t a hardware limitation.

i thought I was the only one.

I know it freezes when my CPU fan on my note book goes full power.

Close tab, or wait then CPU usage and fan go down.

Yeah with my laptop being a lightly upgraded 2011 macbook pro and my work PC possibly having a bad stick of RAM I could possibly see the hardware issue, but my home PC is an i7 7700 with a GTX 1060 so I figured it either has to be a platform issue or something to do with an adblocker.

Does the whole tab become unresponsive for you too? Even if you try to refresh?

I have experienced this frequently for a while. Considering the specs of my computers, I can’t fathom why.

I would debug them, but I just keep killing them when they lock up.

It’s been doing this on my Macbook. The tab freezes, won’t even let me refresh, then it crashes.

Screw the refresh, you wait less when you kill (close)the tab

Yes, only seems to do it on Chrome, which does not have AdBlock. Firefox is fine, which does have AdBlock.

Honestly, I’ve been having some level of Kinja problems since day friggin one... Most recently, I can’t log into any of the main blogs (deadspin, giz, lifehacker, etc) using my linked google account, though it works for all the user-run blogs.

I can’t even refresh or navigate back when it freezes, I have to force kill the tab.

Me too. I thought it was me, so I was planning to reinstall Chrome this weekend. It happens on both my home and work networks. Both block certain domains at the router level.

That is odd

The weird thing is that I can’t log in from any desktop browser. On iPhone, I can’t log in using Safari but I can using Chrome. Same behavior with all browsers whether ad blockers are installed or not...

Sure. All the **(& time. : ) Ok well it’s not too horrible in my case. I have Firefox with script blocker (uBlock) to keep things usable.

When that has happened to me (though it’s rare) I had to force kill the whole browser. In this case, Firefox on Windows, using this at a cmd line.

taskkill /i /fm firefox.exe

Chrome puts each tab as a separate process. It hogs memory but makes it so that if one tab crashes it doesn’t take the whole browser with it.
