> Your homepage crashed my browser.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that. What browser and version were you running? I'll file an issue.

I asked our CEO where the name came from, and he said that Faraday is famous for being an experimentalist, which ties into our predictive modeling. (We also have lots of customers in the residential solar industry.)

I'm on Firefox 49.0.1 and the homepage did crashed mine too. When I visited the homepage, the bottom part was just a white space with nothing in it. Every other windows where unable to display their content anymore. (not the same guy as the first one who's browser crashed, but since my browser was not heavy customized I though would like to know).

I'm actually on Firefox 49.0.1 too. I just thought it was one of my add-ons or DNS hacks. Don't want to report a bug for an edge case but if others have the same issue it might be something more serious. Worked fine in Chrome.

Thank you for confirming this problem! We've reproduced it internally and we're working on it.

I wouldn't worry, it's heavily customised. If you tested in all the main browsers you're probably fine.

I suspect it was olark, as I can't see anything else obvious. That screenshot image is pretty heavyweight too, I can see it downloading.
