That has been happening to me for months, but for some other sites as well.

No other sites that I've noticed, UNLESS MR is up, with it is most of the time. Have you tried with it up and without?

Some compilers have options to enable unsafe optimisations which might affect things if you're e.g. operating at the limits of floating point precision, so rounding errors mount up, and some may even default to those being turned on, but they must have a way of turning them off or they're not conforming.

Yes, they have options to turn them off.

I could maybe make peace with unsafe optimisations being on by default outside parentheses but I think parentheses should be honored by default unless unsafe optimisations are explicitly enabled. I feel completely entitled to V&R about it. Being technically conforming does not mitigate that, it is part of the cause of the V&R.

Depends on what "up" means. I always have lots of tabs, but if I am not actively reading MR, the tab it is in is usually "back arrowed" out of MR. I'll have to remember to check if MR is showing when another site is hung. (Some places I visit are subject to overloading or internal network congestion.)

Ah. I typically have, IDK, 30-50 sites in tabs. The last...3 weeks-ish (sorry, I've been a bit mental with some illness crap I've been dealing with, so this observation might be whack), suddenly, when I post something at MR, or switch from MR to anything else, my entire computer bogs down for a moment or two--like...IDK, 10-20 seconds? I'll count next time. And then resumes. It's weird as hell.

If hardware acceleration is on, try disabling it. Might be a glitchy GPU driver.
