Some websites completely hang the browser with no option to recover

REPRODUCIBILITY (% or how often): 100%
BUILD ID = OS VERSION (Settings > About product): Vёrla
HARDWARE (XA2, X10, X10 II, …): X10 II
UI LANGUAGE: Eng
REGRESSION: (compared to previous public release: Yes, No, ?): Yes

DESCRIPTION:

Some websites completely hang the browser and there’s no option to recover (e.g. view new pages/sites) until reboot (or probably terminating browser process via CLI)

PRECONDITIONS:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

  1. Browse to https://dns-shop.ru
  2. The site doesn’t load
  3. The browser is not usable anymore

EXPECTED RESULT:

Closing the misbehaving tab (when the page is taking too long to load or there’s a rendering, internal error or some such) should get rid of the page/tab and restore browser functionality.

ACTUAL RESULT:

The browser can create new tabs and appears to close old ones, however it’s impossible to use it to open and view new pages.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

Opening dns-shop.ru in the Browser without specifying https:// or http:// leads to “ohio8.vhecks.io” appearing in the address bar and then it gets stuck.
