(I'll just note that in FF [not Tor] 78ESR & 91, I can get high CPU [that does subside after a bit], but I don't see XSS nor do I crash.
Win7 x64.)

I can see what's happening there: the page has 152 <noscript> elements, 56 of which contain distinct Youtube iframes which get therefore scanned for XSS attempts all together, DOSing the browser.

If you either disable the noscript capability for 3mdeb.com or the frame capability for youtube.com the page should load almost instantaneously with no warning.

I should probably look into some form of rate limiting or serialization of the injection checker for edge case like this.

Check your settings in ucp.php?i=ucp_notifications&mode=notification_options and that you are indeed subscribed to this topic?
