As above, try clearing cache etc

As for an explanation - the web as we know it is a massive fudge of semicompatible technologies nailed together. Web pages as envisaged by Sir Tim Berners-Lee carried information and relationships between information, not embedded images, layers of animated adverts, interactive elements, plugins, prettty colours, layouts and formtting, etc. Then add web apps wanting to behave like native apps (eg Google spreadsheets). All that stuff has been piled on top of what was once a very simple protocol, and it all has to more or less not break when you look at a page with any browser on any platform.

This means it is an unholy mess, and breaks. It works through good luck and witchcraft most of the time, if you were starting from scratch you wouldn't start from here for sure. But it mostly works, and it seems people value novelty over robustness, so more and more bodges appear as standard. The out of memory error looks like a javascript error (code running in the browser) because something didn't load fully/properly. Nothing dangerous at all. You can try shift+F5, that usually forces a full reload and sorts anything like that.

Basically what you're seeing is the edge of the narrow path of cludges and bodges that make the modern internet the glossy interactive place it is now. It won't hurt if you fall off, you'll just see the engine room and wonder how it ever works at all.
