Maybe it was the Firefox addon Canvas Blocker? That addon was crashing the game, so I disabled it and appears to work now. The game still makes my laptop fans kick on though.

Thanks. Yes, that makes sense. The web version of the game is powered by WebAssembly and renders to a canvas.

The game is only able to utilize one CPU core when running in the browser, maxing that core out probably set off your fans.

...isn't webassembly supposed to be more efficient?

The reduced performance is a Go problem rather than a WebAssembly problem. See this issue for more info:
