chess.com has all its webpage buttons freeze if you open a new webpage tab after a game, for about the last six months. Do they do that on purpose or can't they program webpages properly. No other webpage from any other company I have ever used freezes like that in response to opening new tabs. I heard chess.com kept track of when Hans Niemann opened extra web tabs on his computer to claim he was using AI assistance on the extra tabs during his game. Maybe their webpage buttons freezing is due to programing they did on that subject. As it is now, after every game on chess.com I have to leave chess.com and reenter it to get their web buttons to work again, unless I only use a single tab; but then I can not study the games after completing them.
Does chess.com purposely freeze its webpage if you "open a new tab"?

You can press the review button after the game without using another browser tab. You can also go to your stats page and scroll down to the last game you played, click the magnifying glass symbol and do the review from there.
@Jaybird127 But I can't afford a "premium account" so the "review button" only works once in a while on a trial basis. Also to study the opening I like to use chessdb supercomputer in China because of its huge opening memory. But I guess if messing with people's ability to open new tabs is a simple way to stop cheating then maybe its ok for chess.com to do it, but certainly then they should have alerted their users that they do that so that thousands of hours aren't wasted by each person having to discover it on their own.
Can you export the PGN and analyze it somewhere else? I've heard of people installing engines on their computer and doing it that way also.
@Jaybird127 Yes, that is what I do after each game, I download the pgn. Then I reenter Chess.com to play again. I reenter Chess.com anyway because the "Checking For Mistakes" tries to load an engine (I guess) and with a phone line connection it consumes like over one minute to do that. When I relogin it seems all the buttons respond the quickest. But things are ok with doing things the way you suggested, I just was curious if this "opening other tabs" difficulty thing was officially an anticheat mechanism, or some slight bottleneck in the interface amplified by my really slow phone connection. I could afford a fiber optic line, so if these artifacts in the chess interface are all due to not having it, that might weigh into my decision on getting it done. I guess this is not a very general problem though so thanks for spending the time writing those answers for me.
