DevTools causing browser to freeze - google-chrome

I have some weird thing going on in my machine. When loading a specific website at work and opening the Chrome devtools, the website's tab gets frozen, Chrome task manager shows > 100% CPU usage and all is frozen and unusable.
I’ve tried the following, none worked:
Disabled all extensions
Cleared cookies
Restarted Chrome
When loading the same URL with devtools in Incognito mode, all is splendidly working and smooth as butter.
What can be the problem here? I'm using Chrome version 79.0.3945.130, which is currently the latest

How to recover Chrome after tight loop?

I am running Node.js on localhost:3001 and unintentionally wrote some code with an infinite while loop. This locked up Chrome to the point where the only resolution was to kill the browser. Since then, I found the problem in my code using Firefox, and fixed the code, but even after restarting Chrome, it will not load my page. I even changed the port that the server runs on, and the cache is disabled with developer tools open - Chrome simply refuses to load the page. I see a single request to the server for the page, but in Chrome it just registers as Pending.
Has Chrome maybe flagged this page as suspect, somehow? How do I get it to play again? I would at least expect Chrome to offer some opportunity to kill a tight loop - like Firefox does - but I've yet to see it. Is there some setting I can tweak? I'm on version 74.0.3729.169 (Official Build) (64-bit), although now that I opened the About page, I see that it is updating Chrome, so maybe that will fix it.
UPDATE: It didn't fix it, but it works in Incognito mode. ???!!!
UPDATE: Disabling all of my extensions also didn't fix it!
I found a setting in Chrome: "Continue to run background apps when Chrome is closed"
I turned that off, and now it works again.

Website popup is blank for Chrome

Our application uses a popup window to show a report. This works in every browser except Chrome.
In Chrome the URL in the Network tab of the inspector has a blank response. I also see Chrome loading an inject.preload.js script from disk cache?
This exact same page works in Firefox and Safari as well. I haven't been able to check IE yet (i'm on a mac today).
What is this inject.preload.js script and why would Chrome not load a URL in a popup?
The exact same code running staging servers works, the popup loads just fine. In production it works everywhere except Chrome. Both staging and production use SSL, have the same config, etc.
I unfortunately can't link as its a secured site.
Inject.preload.js is generally some sort of adblocker. It could be the case that its acting up and blocking your popup. If it is the case, it would show as an icon to the right of the address bar.

Chrome not loading new styles after css update

Since the last week I'm running into a weird issue related to Chrome version 54.0.2840.71 on OSX. Somehow after updating the CSS the new styles are not loading after refreshing the page.
Styles are not loaded either after a hard refresh (CMD+Shift+R) of when browsing in incognito modus.
This doesn't happen in Firefox or Safari. Anyone else having the same issue or know how to fix this?
This may help. Open dev tools in browser then right click on refresh button of chrome. A menu will open. Select empty cache and hard reload.
If this is also not working then quit browser and try after relaunching.
Also look at chrome://appcache-internals/ for your page if there are some caches just delete those caches related to your page.

Chrome developer breaks on refresh

I tested this on multiple sites and I have the same problem everywhere. When I refresh the site in Chrome with developer tools open, the site stops and its stuck on loading. In developer tools opens the tab Sources with bundle.js file code and I get and error in console:
Cannot read property 'dataset' of null
Why is this error occurring and how can I resolve this? I tried to restart my computer but its not working. Disabling JavaScript in Chrome is not an option. I have Chrome Version 52.0.2743.116.

Chrome page does not finish loading

I have a simple web page running locally on my machine using XAMPP.
When in Chrome and I load the page, the page appears to load fine and appears as expected. The icon in the tab continues to show the spinning "loading" icon though, it never stops.
Using Chrome Developer tools I can see the network tab and there is nothing showing as loading
Also if I use Internet Explorer then the page loads and there is no loading icon.
Any idea why Chrome might think it is still loading something?
I had the same problem and found out it was one of my chrome extensions. I tried loading my site in an incognito page and the loading symbol stopped after the page finished. I went through my extensions to see which were not allowed in incognito and eventually found that it was "Mailto: for Gmail™ 2.4" causing the problem.
For what it's worth after eight years, I had a similar problem where Chrome would not load some images even though they were definitely available, ready, and waiting.
My solution was to close the browser, flushing cookies, history, and all the other internal cruft which had built up over time (using the "Close All & Clean" extension).
Restarting the browser and reloading the page, everything was there, all tickety-boo.
I have no useful theories on why this might've worked but as they say "works for me." Your mileage may vary.
