Freezing pages due to viglink.com script

[A.T.]

Since a few days I noticed PF pages freezing and becoming non-responsive in Chrome (latest). I tried Firefox which had the same problem, and reported a hanging script:

I have noticed some hanging as well lately but attributed it to having a lot of CPU intensive programs running. Do you have an example thread with the problem?

It's not specific to a certain thread, more random which makes reproducing it difficult. Using Firefox eventually detects a hanging script.

The scripts Firefox reported:

Didn't hang for me. Don't know if it would make a difference but, I'm using a older Firefox (26).

Thanks for the report, I'll look into it.
