i've been plagued by a problem that seem to started since Youtube's last
layout change this year.
I have for months put up and tried to ignore the freezing that happens
everytime I open a link within youtube such as an channel, an video, the homepage, etc.
I'm using Chrome version 31.0.1650.63 and I have already tested youtube without any
extensions, cookies, cache, etc but it still affects me to this day and maybe some
of you out there.
I searched every where for the solution and couldn't find any anywhere.
I did a bit of digging and testing to see what is the root of the problem and
while i'm no expertise on code or Java...I did found something.
Every time I reload a page on youtube, with it finishing loading up...this happens:

See that?
The purple-colored rendering, that's the cause of the lag every time I load
up something on youtube!
I notice that it repeats the same thing over and over again for like 5-15 or so
seconds before it starts loading up the thumbnails of the videos.
If you want a closer inspection of the code, here's the raw data from the timeline (that you can load up in chrome's dev timeline window):

I don't what to do with this problem and I believe it affects
me in Firefox as well but to an lesser extent then chrome.
Do any of you guys know how to resolve this problem?
Honestly I doubt that the youtube devs will fix this problem since they're the ones who caused it in the first place. (Like not being able to subscribe to some people when i'm not even at my sub limit.)
I'm sorry if you don't want to help but I don't know who else to look to besides
the experts that y'all are when it comes to web coding. If anything, I believe a userscript or something similar could help with this but how...I don't know.
I'm new to this and I apologize if the question i'm asking isn't suited for this site.
Still, thanks for reading and if you can...please reply.
That is all and thanks again.
Well I was fiddling around and looking at the source code
with chromes timeline devtools and well...
I found a temporary solution to the problem which seems to have
fixed and ended the freezing on youtube! yay~
But some things don't work with this solution and i'm at
a fault with this issue after some hours trying to figure out
how to stop the problem.
Anyways I used adblock, an extension that I have on Google Chrome, to deal
with this issue and was able to get everything fixed and working!
What I did was, in the custom filters section (check options in your
adblock extension, you should have it.) and added the following then did
some testing to see if it fixed the problem which it did!
Here are the filters I used to fix it!

Yeah, that's the temporary solution as it fixes the problems but it causes the following...
You can't open the menu which contains links to your playlists, user settings, channel, etc when you click your username or profile
picture on top right of youtube.
The "..." mini-menu that you usually find on the right of a video section (to hide, subscribe, etc.) doesn't appear anymore.
Youtube's quick menu button doesn't work, however the menu is still open but you won't be able to close it. That or it's close and you
won't be able to open it...I guess.
Those are the problems I found with this temporarily solution to the freezing problem.
Yeah...but I hope this helps anyone who's having this problem somewhat well.
But it would be nice if someone has an better solution then mine hehe!
Thanks for reading and if you have a better solution, don't feel afraid to
tell! ^_^
I'll be awaiting other answers, for now...I hope this helps y'all well
in some ways hehe! =D
This certainly isn't javascript, but substituting the normal EasyList in ABP for EasyList without element hiding will fix the issue. There are downsides to this as well but for now seems to be the better solution.

I wanted to add a cool new feature to my website that allows for clickable popup java-script thumbnails using HighSlide. I have thoroughly searched stackoverflow, google, and the forum on highslide for a solution to my problem to no avail.
The main problem I am experience is the onclick java function, which, when clicked, is supposed to enlarge one of the images. However, instead of it opening up, I get a perpetual loading message.

Upon my examination of other people who have had a similar error, they needed to ensure that all paths to the files were setup correctly, which I have double checked. I am still new to coding, so if anyone could give me some pointers, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time, I am very excited to get this working.
There's a longstanding bug in the "editor" on the Highslide JS site, and it always makes the same mistake! Open the highslide.config.js file, then:
Change:
hs.outlineType = 'custom';
To:
hs.outlineType = '';
I think that will cure the problem. If not, post back, and we can start looking at some of the other usual suspects. ;)
I'm developing a site on Silex + Twig. Most of the time, everything looks great, but once in a while, without any JS errors, chrome will crash the page just after loading the content.
It only happens on some computers, what made me think that it might be a memory problem.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide any code, mostly because I would have to provide the whole source code, since I cannot pinpoint the problem.
Have any of you ever had problems like this? If so, how did you solve it? Where should I look first? Please, if you can, send me some light on this matter.
EDIT: On the beginning of the project, this started happening A LOT, like 3 out of 4 refreshes, so we switched from Symfony to Silex... In my machine, it solved the problem, but in some others, it still happens, in minor frequency.
I got it...
It was a problem with the flexslider plugin.
In this question there's the explanation and solution:
Bootstrap + Flexslider: Loading Flexslider within hidden element causes jQuery to be unresponsive
Thanks anyway... :D
I have a small, very basic 3d game that runs in all browsers. But my issue is that when it runs in Chrome I can see in my console messages that the sounds are "pending" and don't play when they should. The thing is that after some time have passed ALL sounds play at the same time. It doesn't seem to be happening anywhere else, its just in Chrome. I came across this article that someone posted but it did not solve my issue. Just in case I am running Version 43.0.2357.81 m of Chrome and I am using the Sound Manager 2 library (I needed it in order to have sound work with IE 9 and up).
Can anyone offer some suggestions or point me to any more articles that might point me to a solution? Many thanks in advance!
Turn on logging in Chrome (inspect element/console - Preserve log) and see what your code is doing.
Also, you could try enabling/disabling your audio flags just be sure to set them back to default when you are done.
chrome://flags/#disable-encrypted-media
chrome://flags/#disable-prefixed-encrypted-media/
chrome://flags/#try-supported-channel-layouts
chrome://flags/#enable-delay-agnostic-aec
chrome://flags/#disable-delay-agnostic-aec
chrome://flags/#enable-tab-audio-muting
in chrome and see if that makes a difference.
Just shooting from the hip on the information given though, I would imagine that chrome is delaying your audio javascript execution to the end of the page load. Moving the script to the beginning of the page, or using an async could fix this. Here is a good resource for javascript page load issues: http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/speed/script-loading/
I have been fixing up a sites JS, moving it to the bottom, minifying, etc. And it's all gone okay except on the blog (of an e-commerce site), as the page loads it's causing the header to be un-styled for a second or so, but it isn't happening on any other part of the site, even though they share the same CSS/JS. The blog is image heavy, but with images disabled (and I've tried disabling scripts too), it still happens. It's only happened since I've made changes, which I can't revert simply, but the changes are all positive and should help if anything. I can't see any JS causing it (as I removed the scripts to see if it was in there) and it doesn't happen in FF.
I would share a link but it's behind a closed staging server. And I could provide code but I'm not sure what, and there's a lot.
So, I had hoped I could use Dev tools to figure out what's happening, possibly the timeline view or something. I just don't know how I'd go about doing that.
Any advice?
Ed: I used the network tab on both the staging and the live site, as you can see from the image, they're identical, the css is the first thing loaded after the actual page, and on the live site it's actually ga.js. So it's even more of a puzzle now...
Don't worry, figured it out... It was the Stylebot Chrome Extension.. No idea why it was causing it now after making those changes though, and why it didn't affect the live site. I had no styles defined in it for this domain. A bug I guess.
Cheers all the same :)
Timeline tab in the dev tools is for benchmarking / site performance testing. If you want to know what's happening as in what content is being loaded, when and where, you can use the network tab for that.
It's also a common practice to stuff console.log() everywhere with some relevant message so you know when some part of code is being run.
I am unable to replicate the problem when I want to but it seems like every now and then, my site using FCKeditor will load the interface but not the content (Clicking the buttons don't do anything). No javascript errors show and once it starts doing it, it usually is tough to get back to normal. The way I found to work best is to click the refresh button multiple times in a row, then the FCKeditor loads correctly. I have only seen this in Firefox
Has anyone else run into this problem or know a solution. It is a little annoying for me but I am afraid my client would be really confused
I have experienced the phenomenon you describe in FCKEditor's successor, CKEditor. Somehow, the IFRAME that contains the WYSIWYG content doesn't get loaded. What always helps is switching to source code view and back, but that's no solution.
I have seen the problem described on the Internet but with no solution.
Caching is not the problem, I think. Sometimes, if you press "reload" 20 times, it will break at the 21th time, and work again on the 22nd time.
What minimized the number of occurrences for me was to activate the thingy to the editor's bottom that shows the element path (body > p > span, I forgot it's name). I don't now why but since I turned it on, it very rarely breaks any more.
I have had this problem. I solved it by pre-loading FCKeditor in a hidden iframe during the login process so that when it got to the pages where it was used it was already in the cache.
i would strongly advise to upgrade to CKEditor which can not only be spelled out verbally without offending anyone, but also optimizes the loading time to minimal. I find it much more responsive than his F- friend.
I encountered this problem with firefox (not reproducible) and chrome (reproducible).
The solution that worked quite well in both cases was to wait for some milliseconds before initializing CKE :
setTimeout(function() {textarea.ckeditor({customConfig : 'custom/schnonfig.js'})} , 100);
