Poe Trade website causing freeze

Hello,

When you type into any text field to search like add stat filter , it causes to freeze my browser and affects the PC as well.

This initially happened with chrome, but I tried with edge and Firefox as well. Also tried in incognito , still happening.

I tried this in MAC and not seeing happening there.

But my PC is very powerful and I tried when no games running as well. So it is odd.

Here is the analysis from the chrome console. I know code is uglified but if it helps:

"Specific Bottlenecks Identified:
Expensive DOM Updates: The function er in plugins.4223f228c3d6bac7193f54351207eb4f30c30703.js contains a line a[r] = o that alone accounts for 127 ms of execution time. This indicates very costly DOM manipulation happening during the interaction.
Dependency Tracking Overhead: The addDep function, also in plugins.4223f228c3d6bac7193f54351207eb4f30c30703.js, is contributing over 20 ms to the processing time, suggesting inefficient dependency tracking or an excessive number of dependencies being processed during the interaction.
Search/Filtering Logic: A search function in trade.f321e479c0c181ad42bb70a61e739eb51f55647e.js takes 16 ms, indicating that the dropdown's filtering or search mechanism might be inefficient for the amount of data it handles.
Layout and Style Recalculations: There are also noticeable Layout (9 ms) and Recalculate style (4 ms) events, which can result from frequent or unoptimized DOM changes.
In essence, the dropdown's interaction triggers a series of JavaScript operations that are synchronously updating the DOM, processing dependencies, and executing search logic in a way that blocks the main thread for too long, causing the "freeze" you observed."
