Have you noticed that there are more and more websites

that will freeze your browser, and sometimes your whole computer, for several minutes? It doesn't matter if IE7 or IE8, for those who are about to recommend FF, it freezes FF, too. Should we blame this on AJAX or some other new annoying technology? P.S. For a long time I thought AJAX is a toilet cleaner.

As with any multithreaded application it could be any number of things that are hogging the CPU cycles (Javascript UI libraries, AJAX, ActiveX, Flash, Silverlight, PDF, etc.). Anything that pushes the processing to the client side can have this effect.

In general, Ajax improves the responsiveness of websites in my experience. The things that slow down or freeze the browser (again, in my experience) tend to be Flash or PDFs - so it's all Adobe's fault!
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p

Nah PDF's don't freeze for a few seconds, they freeze for several minutes :) As do crappy java applets. They also inhibit scrolling through the rest of the page while they are loading.

Forgot about Java - it's not JUST Adobe's fault then!

CNET locks up my FF more than half the time.

Oh that's weird. In IE8 it's broken. In FireFox it's perfect. The conspiracy continues!!

It's working perfectly in IE6. ;P

It is (or at least something in the cleaning category ;P ) It's also a soccer club : http://english.ajax.nl/[^]

Hi, You cannot blame Ajax for this. The way its handled is the reason. If its synchronous then the browser hangs as it has to wait for the response it locks the browser. Please make it asynchronous and give a friendly error message when you want to cancel the operation or navigate away from that page. Thanks, Thani

You forgot Chrome :). I've had that freeze up only once or twice, just from stupid ads. You can temporarily turn off Flash, which makes it go back to normal. Also, why would PDFs freeze things up?...the plugin opens fine in my browser, at least. It'll be slow if it's huge, but that's to be expected. In general, I find that IE (any version) and FF (at least the more recent versions) are way slower than anything else in existence. Even Opera is fine in terms of speed (although not always of accuracy). Web design efficiency has been steadily getting worse for quite some time now, so...avoid certain sites or get a better browser (or crack sites you don't like to send a message to the owner :)). Incidentally, Opera has a 'block content' feature which usually works quite well; I guess that could be used to certain effect.

FTFY. It's better than its predecessors but that's like saying your alarm clock used to create huge explosions when the alarm went off, but with the latest revision it only explodes a little bit, and for some reason it has a switch to set it back to Big Explosion Mode.
