I suspect there is some kind of problem with your network. Maybe some other people here have the same problem and you can get a clue on what is happening. An unrelated problem I have is that I can't watch yahoo news videos. The commercials work and the videos absolutely never ever work on any of my computers. I've googled it and other people have the same problem, but I've never figured it out and I don't get that problem with anybody but yahoo, so I understand how maddening that sort of problem is.

Goodluck...
That particular tab/process will become non-responsive. The other tabs/processes continue to work normally and I usually go read and browse in the other tabs while waiting for the non-responsive one to start working. So after a couple minutes I go back to the tab that got hung up and it will have posted the "recommend" or there will be a (-sending-) message where the recommend link was. Once it a great while it will not respond at all. This has occurred in Windows, Ubuntu, OS X, Chrome OS, Android and iOS, using IE, Chrome, Chrome Canary Build, Firefox, Opera, Safari running on Core i3, Core 2 Duo, AMD Deneb Quads, Tegras, Qualcomm processors, so a lot of different combinations of hardware/software. So maybe this is a network/router issue. But Windows Phone 7.5 has yet to produce the error so maybe not...

If this is happening across such a wide spectrum, maybe it's software on your end, or the provider. Are you running the same anti-virus or firewall on all platforms? Any special anti-spam running? More than one that will really screw you up. ( I KNOW!!)

Is the ISP running a Norton or McAfee crap program?

I'm saying this because I used to hang up with Outpost Pro firewall all of the time on certain pages, until I dumped it for Vipre.

Re: Browser freeze

The only app I have this issue with is the Terra browser on the iPad. It's not a problem with Safari.
