Your homepage crashed my browser. Not sure what you've got going on there. :/ Nice name but how does it relate to your product? I assume it refers to Michael Faraday. I have a bit of history about him and how he compares to Tesla, along with a tour of monuments to him in London here: https://unop.uk/faraday-tour https://unop.uk/faraday-tour

Maybe you should switch to a browser written in Rust.

  Ironically, it is that browser.

  Servo isn’t exactly hard to crash at present. (“But hang on, it wasn’t supposed to crash!” I hear you saying. These are controlled, deliberate terminations due to detected logic errors, rather than crashes owing to memory unsafety issues like null pointer dereferencing.)

> Your homepage crashed my browser. Ouch. Sorry to hear that. What browser and version were you running? I'll file an issue. I asked our CEO where the name came from, and he said that Faraday is famous for being an experimentalist, which ties into our predictive modeling. (We also have lots of customers in the residential solar industry.)

  I wouldn't worry, it's heavily customised. If you tested in all the main browsers you're probably fine. I suspect it was olark, as I can't see anything else obvious. That screenshot image is pretty heavyweight too, I can see it downloading.

  I'm on Firefox 49.0.1 and the homepage did crashed mine too. When I visited the homepage, the bottom part was just a white space with nothing in it. Every other windows where unable to display their content anymore. (not the same guy as the first one who's browser crashed, but since my browser was not heavy customized I though would like to know).

    I'm actually on Firefox 49.0.1 too. I just thought it was one of my add-ons or DNS hacks. Don't want to report a bug for an edge case but if others have the same issue it might be something more serious. Worked fine in Chrome.

    Thank you for confirming this problem! We've reproduced it internally and we're working on it.
