Github page gets stuck during loading

[and3rson]

• Browser: Mozilla Firefox 69.0b7, ViolentMonkey
• Operating System: Arch Linux rolling
• Link to page with the issue: https://github.com/

Since this morning Github fails to load if this script is enabled. After some time, there's a notification that a script is stuck and offers to terminate it or start debug. Unfortunately hitting "debug" button just opens a debugger with no additional information about current stack trace.

Can confirm, same issue with Firefox 70.0.1 on Ubuntu LTS 18.04.

Reliably freezes the browser and/or the whole machine.

Can confirm same issue on Firefox and on Chromium with ViolentMonkey.

I'm not seeing any issues on my Windows 10 machine, Tampermonkey v4.9.5941 & Firefox 70.0.1.

I don't think it'd be related to the Linux OS, so it might be associated with ViolentMonkey or maybe interference from another extension. Please try disabling other extensions to see if it's a combination causing the problem.

Since this morning

Arch Linux bleeding edge, cant say Im surprised. What Other OS's can you test in?

[unixfox]

You are right @Mottie, it's related to ViolentMonkey. I just tested on Tampermonkey and it's working perfectly.

Can confirm this issue happens when using ViolentMonkey but not Tampermonkey.

ViolentMonkey's latest version was released 8 hours ago.

While this is indeed a bug in Violentmonkey added by yours truly, a quick workaround is to replace GM.addStyle( call with GM_addStyle(. The latter can be used safely as it's added if not present by gm4-polyfill.js. Moreover there is no such thing as GM.addStyle in Greasemonkey4 API.

Updating Violentmonkey to latest version fixes the issue - https://github.com/violentmonkey/violentmonkey/releases/tag/v2.12.1
