Chrome hangs often while browsing; other browsers are excellent

[hess8]

Detailed description of the problem

Chrome hangs many seconds ("Page Unresponsive", while scrolling through albums, while doing any of the following:

• page-up (I can start paging down, but as soon as I hit page-up the page is unresponsive)
• mouse wheel scrolling on thumbnails or on right scroll bar
• dragging the right scroll bar frequently

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Immediately when I hit page-up
2. Or: eventually while mouse wheel scrolling on thumbnails
3. Or: eventually while mouse wheel scrolling on right scroll bar
4. Or: eventually while dragging up and down on right scroll bar

This happens on brand new installs. Every session I test browsing photos with Chrome hangs in less that a minute. On the other hand, Microsoft Edge and Firefox have excellent performance.

While it hangs, I can sometimes scroll to see more thumbnails, but I can't open any photo or select it.

Hi, do you have any plugins on Chrome that you don't have in FF or MS Edge? Is the issue still there when trying on Chrome in Private Navigation?

[hess8]

Hi. I turned off all plugins and restarted Chrome. It still hangs.

I tried incognito mode in Chrome and it still hangs.

@hess8 can you drop in gitter : https://gitter.im/LycheeOrg/Lobby and give us a link to your gallery there because to me this seems very specific to your installation.

[hess8]

I posted the gallery link for testing.

[hess8]

Thanks, a bunch of people tested my server and it works great in chrome for them. I guess it's just my chrome install. Thanks.
