I'm having trouble with Chrome and Opera freezing when using Web MIDI pages on a Windows 10 machine. It mostly works, but frequently unplugging a MIDI device causes the browser to freeze. It seems to happen with all Web MIDI pages, including my own in progress here: https://warbl.xyz/configure.html, and the Web MIDI API example page here: http://webaudiodemos.appspot.com/monosynth/index.html

The problem does not occur when using Firefox with the WEB Midi plugin, nor does it happen on ios using the WEB Midi browser app: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/web-midi-browser/id953846217?mt=8

I'm wondering if anyone has suggestions for preventing this? Thanks!

Apparently, there's nothing that you (as a user or programmer) can do.

(… Well, stop unplugging devices while they're still being used.)

Does that mean that it's a common problem? I'm okay with that, I mostly just want to make sure it's not unique to my situation. The device is one that I made using the Arduino MIDIUSB library, and my only concern is that the device may be doing something wrong. Thanks!
