[Fix] If your whole computer freezes up when trying to use the agent, make a new chrome profile.

I don't know where else to put this, I just wanted to publish a fix to the world. Whenever I wanted to use the agent, at some point it would start to lag and then freeze my entire computer, and it got worse and worse overtime to where it would start freezing after a couple of seconds. Made a new chrome profile and easy, it's fixed.

CPU: Intel(R) Celeron(R) N5100 (4) @ 2.80 GHz
GPU: Intel UHD Graphics @ 0.80 GHz [Integrated]
These are the worse specs ever but I'm on a chromebook and it works just fine

This is great — thank you for posting it instead of just fixing it and moving on. That "lags, then freezes the whole machine, and gets worse over time" pattern is a real one, and a fresh profile clearing it up makes sense: a bloated or corrupted profile (heavy cache, a misbehaving extension) can drag everything down, especially on integrated graphics where there's no headroom to absorb it.

And honestly, respect for running the agent on a Celeron Chromebook and making it work — that's a good signal for us that it doesn't need big hardware as long as the profile's clean. Leaving this up as a reference; it'll save someone else the headache.
