Horizontal tabs with multiple tabs and elements freezes or crashes Google Chrome on macOS

Created on 26 July 2023, over 1 year ago

Horizontal tabs has the tendency to freeze or crash in Google Chrome on macOS if there couple of tabs and tab content which have elaborate forms (ie. Paragraphs) on page load, switching immediately to another tab on reload before the page starts loading negates the issue.
Extensions or native apps are not the issue. I've uninstalled and stopped all unnecessary processes to rule this out. This happens on other colleagues laptops too with different OS versions and Chrome versions.

After a lot of testing the cause seems to be any way that display: none is applied to the closed tabs. Included is a patch that alters the use of display: none and hides the tabs visibly and adds "aria-hidden"="true" to the closed tabs to comply with a11y standards.
