  • One relative has taken so many photos, that scrolling down to his pictures before 2020 takes too much time and effort. I used extensions like "Simple Autoscroll" to automate the scrolling! But once scrolling reaches his pictures uploaded in 2020, my browser froze. I had to "End task" in Task Manager. I tried this on Chrome Firefox and Edge, but the problem replicated. I tried this on 3 different computers, but the problem replicated.
  • So how can I view those photos before 2020? Shall I try saving his entire "Photos" page? As you can see in the screenshot below, he neither created any Albums, nor organized his pictures into Albums.

  • ### Update
  • Before Olin Lathrop's answer, I used extensions like "Simple Autoscroll" to automate the scrolling! After Olin Lathrop's answer, I removed all these extensions that cannot be the issue because the browsers still freeze up!
