It does not work. Whenever I try to use it while signed in it loads infinitely until it crashes. It works perfectly fine while signed out so I suspect it may be due to my newest project, which was quite sizeable and has performed makecode mitosis about 100 times, so if makecode pre-loads these for whatever reason that may be causing it. Anyone have any ideas?

Could you open the dev tools and see if there are any errors in the console? Screenshot them if there are and send them here.

I checked again and it does different things on chrome and safari but I believe this may just be due to cached data in chrome

It works perfectly fine until I try to edit anything, at which point it lags intensely before a few seconds later it crashes and reloads. I tried to record the errors that appeared in the console but the first time, the recording cut out before that happened and the subsequent times the website crashed before the errors were able to be recorded and my console gets cleared whenever the page reloads
