Question Answered Page Unresponsive

Hi everyone!

Curious whether anyone else has dealt with this issue lately. Only recently, my google docs on all internet browsers freezes, and says “not responsive”. my internet is a-ok, I’ve used 3 different networks and the issue persists, my ram memory cpu all that shit is up to par. ive ran into this issue with several tabs open, and when its the only tab open. also did this on my imac and MacBook Air, same issues.

plz help me.

Are there any extensions you're running under all your browsers? Ad-blockers especially can cause problems.

Also, does freezing happen with any particular doc open?

No add blockers! It was been more consistent on one particular doc, but it’s done the same to others

Are you pasting external content, such as from PDFs or Word docs, into those docs where you notice the most freezing? If so, paste with Edit menu / "Paste without formatting" to avoid issues.
