Totally pedantic, but no HashMap.get function is O(1). In order do a look-up, you have to compute the hash, whose size is at least log2(n).

The browser doesn't have to know or care if some javascript on a page is doing an infinite loop. It's quite possible to sandbox a tab so that it can't take down the browser, just like an OS sandboxes processes so that one can't take down th
