I could not reproduce this today, but the web page at
https://celebratingsweets.com/big-chewy-ginger-molasses-cookies/
crashed my computer. This website has every advertisement, popup, and video
known to man on it.
I had a monitor connected to my laptop by an HDMI cable, and I had the
Firefox browser (I have the latest version 104.0.2, 64-bit) open in the
laptop screen to this web page.
This was the only window I had open (the only other [user] program
running was wallch, which rotates the desktop background image), when
the screen went blank after a period of inactivity, and the screen
wouldn't redraw when I moved my finger on the laptop touchpad or pressed
the space bar to wake it up. It just stayed black, ctl-alt-del was not
recognized, nor were any keys, and the only thing I could figure out to
get it back was to press the power button until the computer shut off.
Then reboot. This happened twice. The touchpad was hot, like something
was overheating inside the laptop. This laptop was built by System76
and is some sort of generic Lenovo under the hood.
No web site has ever crashed my computer before. I have Ubuntu,
upgraded from version 20 to 22.04.1 LTS three weeks ago, and upgraded
from DSL to fiber Internet two weeks ago. Maybe one of these is causing
the problem. I'll try to also report it to the other components'
producers.
