It seems like your browser is just hanging when google analytics tries to process. I believe it places a cookie on your computer that is used for tracking purposes. Since you've made no changes, settings shouldn't be an issue but there is one thing I'm thinking... Go ahead and clear your browsing history/cache/cookies from your browser. Sometimes that solves a lot of different problems.
After you do that, go ahead and close then re-open your browser and test it out. If it's still doing it, then another alternative is to block the cookies to see if that works. Change the cookie settings so that you don't accept any at all and restart your browser.... if that works, then you'll want to set it back to accepting cookies but make an exception for google-analytics.com or whatever the site is, so that it blocks just those cookies.

If none of that works, I'll do some more research and see what I can come up with.
Apparently I haven't the faintest idea of how to disable cookies...

I was able to delete some individually (among them some called "google-analytics), but that's the only thing I could do.

I've searched about and everyone seems to say that I should go to Tools - Options - Privacy, but the only options that show up when I do that are history preferences, a clear history and a delete individual cookies one.

Oh, and I've been clearing my history quite regularly lately, anyway...

And to make it all clear, I'm using Mozilla Firefox, but the same problem persists on Chrome, which I downloaded speficically for testing purposes, except the page just goes blank and that's it.
