Might be an ad. I've run into that a couple times.

Also check how many tabs are open. Safari gets snippy with me at more than eight, and Chrome doesn't like more than 14-15.

(I was curious, okay? :p )

I tried closing all my other tabs, but that didn't work. If it is an ad, how can I deal with that?

My new plan is so secret that even I cannot understand its full scope!

An update: I tried installing other browsers, and it still won't work. I'm starting to think that it won't even work on my computer when I'm able to use it.

The only way I've been able to deal with ads is to wait for them to cycle around to new ones. I use Chrome, so visiting sites I know normally kick up innocent, well-behaved ads (Big Fish, Amazon), usually helps.

In Chrome app, you can clear the cache. I've only had to do that once.

I haven't had to do it with a browser app -it crashes first- but when a game is giving me grief, even if the phone itself is behaving, I say, "Heck with it" and do a full reboot. (You're supposed to do that periodically anyway, so I don't have to think about doing it later.)
