Attempting to save a Reddit tab causes the tab to freeze and crash.

[Starfire202]

Whenever I attempt to save Reddit posts (using this one), after clicking on all the spoilers, I attempt to run the extension. It manages frame contents, but at deferrered images it'll start to freeze, and at step 1/3 it will crash. This repeats every time.

Expected behavior is that it should go through normally.

This is a screen recording of me attempting to save the tab:

I suspect it's related to #1387. This might be also exacerbated by another extension you use.

I tried getting ending every intensive tab I had and some extensions (besides SingleFile and the Reddit tab of course), and surprisingly it didn't freezer, but it still crashed. I'm not sure how it would be related; my Chrome can handle large downloads pretty well (keep in mind I know nothing about coding and stuff like this).

Came here to report the same thing. Never actually saves, just processes forever. Just happened with https://www.reddit.com/r/recruitinghell/comments/qhg5jo/this_resume_got_me_an_interview/ but seen it a few times in the last few days. Browser is Firefox 115.10.0esr

EDIT: Came here again to report this, forgot I had already left a comment a month ago. Now on FF 115.11.0esr, same issue. Gets to step 2/3 and hangs there forever, and then I can't save any other tabs, either, the whole extension is hung.

I'm on Vivaldi browser and experiencing the same. Can't save any Reddit post.

Yeah, this is still tripping me up, months after first commenting on it. I love this plugin, so I hate to sound like I'm complaining, but I spend a lot of time on Reddit so this is a bit of a pain.

That didn't seem to fix it.

[gildas-lormeau]

That is why the issue is not closed. Reddit's developers have gone to great lengths to make the whole thing very slow.

Note however that you should be able to save some discussions, e.g. https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/comments/1exfmwl/what_websites_do_you_visit_daily_as_a_developer/ without crashing the browser.
