The purpose for this poll is because this is a known bug Fandom is currently fixing. Anyone who are trying to edit articles with the source editor and is experiencing that their browser is freezing and crashing after entering any type of source editing mode. The Visual editor does not have any effect fortunately, but the bad news for this is that this bug may not be fixed by the end of this year due to some staff members taking breaks for Christmas.

We all thank Fandom for understanding the issue.

For what it's worth, no website should ever be able to really crash the latest version of a web browser. When it happens anyway, the thing to do would be to report the issue to the browser developer.

As a workaround, use a different browser. (Easier said than done in some cases—I know...)

Seems like it only applies to some source editors, but you're right, it shouldn't happen like that. I only have Microsoft Edge on my PC, which is my "default" browser.

I already reported this bug not too long ago, and prior to that, I have also been researching this in Community Central to see if anyone else was having the same thing. I first thought this was an issue with my browser, but until then, I discovered that it's a bug related to Fandom. I even tested out opening and editing a large Wikipedia article (without saving), and I did not have any issue with that at all. I even also discovered that any medium-sized or "slightly" big articles can also cause your browser to lag (if that is happening to you also).

As I mentioned before, Fandom is already aware of the issue and are in the process of fixing this bug. I bet it has been reported several times already.

I only had a few crashes Tech when I was working on Radio but they were all on my end I keep getting cable freeze and I lose my internet for 90 minutes or all day the fix is a cold reset but other then that I only got hit with the bug once.

So, I did further research about source editor being buggy right now. Anyone who uses either Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge are going to experience this. As long as you are using a different browser besides the two, you can use the source editor with no issues at all.

Edge is currently my default browser, but since I started my projects with updating roads that run through Texas, I'm using Firefox as my alternative so I can edit large pages.

@Geomodelrailroader What kind of browser are you using to edit pages? If it's either Chrome or Edge, then the problem with editing is only on these browsers.

Chrome that explains the page jumping I might need to switch to firefox my streams are not going to like that.
