Default Browser shutting down?

Only after visiting PY. It's been going on for 2 or 3 days. I just figured out this morning that if I clear my history everything works but only until I visit this forum. After that, any website I visit shuts down the moment it opens.
So far I have not tried it on my laptop, only my Android phone. Also, if I use Tapatalk it does not happen.

Yes, I've rebooted the phone and cleared the history but don't know how to do anything with storage. I definitely think it's my phone. No problem with my laptop.
The browser is Chrome. Can I just load a new browser from the app store or what?

It should be under settings/storage somewhere...

Adding another bowser will make it worse if its a storage issue.

Also, check for security updates while u r in settings and then goto the store and check for app updates...this is just a good ritual to get into in general

Might have something to do with not I having worked on your 66, the last few years.

We have has internet problems (bounce, no internet, reset router and wifi daily) for a month.
Provider replaced both boxes with same design; same problem. Replaced Wifi with a newer Wifi and BETTER.

Now every website takes time to load, or instant. Depending on? I wonder if skipping PY will show a diff.

HIS, skipping PY did seem alleviate it because it didn't happen if I avoided it...but on the other hand it has now done it twice when I didn't have the Forum in my history. So, every time I visit PY and occasionally from some other site. That strongly suggests that it's my phone.

Believe it or not I've gotten the bug to do something with the '66 in the last few months. Pulled the tripower out of it's storage cocoon, put the original AFB together in case I want to run it first for simplicity.
Going through the parts I've collected over the last decade. It's going to be a rough job body wise though and I'm not in the shape I was 10 years ago.

I cleared the browser storage and cache. Hasn't crashed again since. I think that may have been the problem but I was only using 35% of available storage.

Greg, I have the same problem every time I attempt to log in on a server other than our home IP. Both phone and laptop have no difficulties with PY when at home but it takes multiple sign-ins when I’m away from home.

Brave is a whole world better than MS's Edge.

Greg, the 3 Duces look great.
