LW's front page freezes, hangs and bugs on Chrome

Bongo

Browser is Chrome 12.0.742.122. It doesn't happen on Firefox. "It" is:

sometimes I can't click on links and eventually I get Chrome's "dead tab" notification
other times it keeps loading, even though while I wait for it to load I can go to, say, my user page and have it load right away
twice I've gotten weird graphical bugs on it. Screenshots: 1 2

To reiterate, it only happens on the front page, the one you get when you go to lesswrong.com. Other pages are fine. Perhaps it's the map?

Isn't 12.0 something like quadruple-beta of the "Stable" version of Chrome? Maybe you shouldn't be surprised.

I mean, I use Nightly, the triple-beta of FF because it has a 64-bit version (And let's be honest here, I like feeling superior to to people) but whenever I get an error, I chalk it up to using an experimental browser and move on (or switch browsers.)

That being said, Nightly works far better than I would have expected for a highly experimental browser, even considering that it doesn't support Java or Silverlight.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. It's the current stable release

OP: For the record, I'm on Chrome 13 and I haven't noticed anything like you mentioned here. The graphical glitches make me think something is up with your video card or the drivers for it, but if it's only happening for LW...I'm not sure what to tell you.
