Something on this site, I assume some of the ad/flash content, is freezing my entire browser in Chrome and the only fix is to force quit the application. It doesn't happen with any other sites I view throughout the day.

I'm accessing PH from Safari, which isn't really preferable to use. Bit of a first world problem, I know, but thought I'd flag it up as it's pretty annoying when I navigate to this site by accident (e.g. clicking a Facebook link) and have to close all the windows I'm working on.

I'm using Chrome and having no issues at all confused
Are you on Mac or running Mavericks? I've used Chrome for years and it's been fine up until 2 weeks ago. Only this site though which is weird.

Might be a memory issue, though is hard to diagnose without being able to replicate it, so would be good if you can provide us with some info: system memory, what else is running, hardware of tech to give us a heads up where to start to replicate the problem.
A few things below if they help...

Processor 3.2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB
Software OS X 10.9.4 (13E28)

I always have the following running:
Photoshop
Indesign
Dreamweaver
Excel
Outlook
Adobe Acrobat Pro
Dropbox
Adobe Creative Cloud
Google Drive
Time Machine

Have always had Chrome running along side these though, only started happening in the last couple of weeks.

For what it's worth, this issue seems to be resolved on my mac for now. Not sure if you've done anything behind the scenes but it looks to be working fine.

No more Safari biggrin
