Armor effect MTX store causes total computer freeze (Chrome)

I was trying to get some skin transfers. However upon opening the Armor Effects MTX store page, my computer completely locked up - including mouse cursor movement and OS hotkeys. This happened to me before, I thought it was a random occurrence; but today I got it again. Both times I had to wait for about 10 minutes for my computer to recover (and by "recover" I mean "enough to let me kill Chrome"). I don't really feel like trying to reproduce it again.

No other MTX page is affected.

DXDiag (I realize I do not exactly have a bleeding edge gaming rig, but it should not be locking up by viewing a webpage.)

Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit).

Only background programs I had open were Skype and the PoE game client (which crashed at some point during the computer freeze). I only had 5-6 other tabs in Chrome open at the time.


Since no other MTX page breaks like this, I suspect this might be due to the sheer number of armor effect MTXs. Some suggestions:

- Split the armor effects into categories (by series or by slot).
- Implement pagination for store pages with too many items.
- Let us search for a specific MTX without having to load the entire store.

Interesting.

I haven’t had this, and in my experience the passive tree was the worst part of the website - though they seem to have fixed this. If GGG are to reproduce it, knowing which browser extensions you had installed could help (I’m sure a PM would be fine if you’d prefer not to say publicly).

I'm not 'Sarno' on Discord. I don't know who that is.
The only extension I have installed is FFZ for Twitch. If there is some more in-depth configuration dump I can get from Chrome I'd be happy to provide that, if you let me know how to find it.
