I'm running into a frustrating issue where Google Chrome slows down or goes into a loading state while reading big threads on hackernews. (For example this post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41002195 or this post:https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45427982 )

All I have to do is start clicking the minimize button on threads and my entire PC stops responding.

I have a really beefy setup so its most likely not from there

Has anyone else run into this?

So far been able to replicate on: - Windows 11, Chrome v140.0.7339.208

Also tried incognito mode in Chrome, disabled all extensions. Interestingly, doesn't happen on macOS.
