I don't know if it's just my computer, but it seems like google websites are a lot buggier and often don't load right, or never finish loading these days.
Google maps, gmail, google docs, etc. Things don't load and I have to reload. Things flicker or show up as blank or black.
I know people are going to reply to this and be like, "that's what you get when you vibecode with AI," and maybe that's the case, but I'm curious if other people have noticed this, too.

My work computer, I use Chrome and Gmail.
When I leave gmail up too long, the tab crashes. Reliably. You have one job chrome...

in reply to Emily Velasco • • •Chrome -> settings -> performance
there is a bunch of "inactive tabs", "memory saver", "energy saver" and the the like...
I found this garbage is the reason why 1/2 the time I switch tabs, i get blank pages that take AGES to re-draw or just outright come up with errors since the tab was paused for so long and the active websockets have since expired.

I'm on fiber and just loading a website sometimes takes long enough for me to wander off and get distracted now.

Haven’t seen the behavior you are talking about though, on iPhone at least. Maybe a bit of slow loading last week
