This sounds more like a bug in the browser than anything else.

It does not do that for me. Check if there is an extension on your browser doing something.

Same here, no increase in RAM usage when I open page in Chrome, the page doesn't load but there is no Ram usage change.

Definitely a local problem.

Am not having that issue.

Disabled all (only Ublock origin and lastpass) but still the same

The new Edge browser does the same thing but crashes sooner. Internet Explorer works but damn that looks ugly

So its a Chromium issue then. Firefox is fine, I had to pass a CF DDoS check this morning and it worked perfectly.

I have used CF in the past. To have this message usually means Cloudflare or the client (in this case LMG) have detected DDOS or other behaviour pertaining to an attack on the site. I noticed last night that the site was "too busy" for a fair amount of the time and almost all the LMG staff were online at the same time on discord. So something was going down, but good job they use a CDN with DDOS protection to keep the site more or less up and running. Those checks should be reduced once the immediate threat has passed.
