It freezes a Pixel 10 on Chrome, Webviews and Brave..!

I tried several webview-based browsers, Chrome, and Brave, with them the phone completely freezes (except that the audio keeps going for a bit).

I tested webview browsers because by chance the first place I ran it on was Telegram's internal browser (on which the phone does freeze).

It doesn't do anything on Firefox though, and weirdly enough not even on the Chromium-based Cromite (after enabling WebGL).

I only tried waiting for a few minutes, but it wasn't giving signs of life.

If someone wants to try, keep in mind that to force restart a Pixel you have to press the power button for 30 seconds (during which you might break out in a cold sweat).
