Peertube webpage hangs on button press

[ctag]

Describe the current behavior Hi,

On my Peertube instance, I can load the home page and play videos, but if I click on certain buttons (seems to be any button with a context menu or visible change on the page) the webpage will hang. On Firefox this will eventually crash the browser if left alone. On Chromium the tab will crash.

I first noticed this on Peertube 3.3.0 and upgraded to Peertube 3.4.0 hoping it would be resolved, but it persists.

Since using the Administration page to disable/remove themes and plugins to troubleshoot this issue also causes the freeze, I wanted to try managing the plugins from CLI, but have been unable to so far. Related github issue here.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Visit the instance: https://video.berocs.com/
2. Click on a video.
3. Click on "Subscribe" (or a button with a context menu).
4. No menu appears, and the page stops responding. For me within 15 seconds the page crashes.

Describe the expected behavior

Previously (even on Peertube 3.3.0) the page did not crash.

Was being caused by one of my themes or plugins. I tried updating them to no avail, and then deleted them. Problem resolved, though I'm not sure when plugin is at fault.

BTW: I had the same issue, after uninstall of peertube-plugin-ungamify (0.0.2) the problem was solved
