hmmm....


Have you tried a different browser?


There are many alternatives:

Chrome seems to be a resource hog

FireFox is my favorite

etc.


Not all server side coding/ user facing websites are cross browser/cross platform compatible. The specific rendering engine used by the browser is beyond your control.


Always recommend to have alternative browser on your machine for this very reason.
