Nope, only Safari.Are you using and have Chrome open when this happens. There is a known issue and it is Chrome causing it.
Thanks for the response. When it last happened (yesterday) I was running iterm, npm watch with a react app, vscode, Firefox … a bunch of apps. 5-6 hours in the wired Kensington expert trackball, wired keyboard, and magic trackpad stopped responding but came back for a few seconds ever 30 seconds or so. I assume the entire Mac is freezing up. The last few times it crashed I saw applications (code meter and Antares manager) in the console crash logs around the time of crash and uninstalled them. Didn’t see a crash log event after the latest crash. I see some attribute the issue to usb hubs in the type A USB ports, I just freed up all the USB A ports and connected up my Caldigit tb3 hub. Hopefully it helps and doesn’t complicate matters. 🤞🏻@boomspot
You didn't ask for help solving the problem, but that's why most people make posts about problems. Yeah, I can see how that would be annoying, so if you're just looking for sympathy, there you go.
So, just in case: What OS version are you running? Have you installed anything new recently? Can you think of any changes you made to any settings just before this freezing problem appeared? Does it happen while interfacing with the same app each time? Can you identify any pattern to the behavior? Maybe it's not random after all. You have to provide some clues if you want help. We can't see your screen.
