Claude.ai completely freezes my browser.

[renatoka]

Expected behavior

I expect to have my prompts normally replied to, meaning without any browser freezing.

Actual behavior

No matter what model on Claude I use my browser completely freezes and CPU usage spikes to 100%. This leads to me waiting couple of minutes for browser prompt to force stop page load to appear. Cycle continues on each and every prompt, making Claude.ai completely unusable from Mullvad Browser.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open browser v14.5.7.
2. Go to Claude.ai
3. Enter your prompt

Browser completely freezes (not just one tab).
