Info: Website Repair Needed

Website Repair Needed
Every time I attempt to open a new page on this site, the screen goes blank and I get an error message saying that a script is stopping my browser. Can you please identify and correct this script?
(No, it's not my computer. It only happens on this site, and this computer cost more than my last car.)

Cost of the computer is not a factor in this issue, but what is installed can be. Could be something like a plug-in conflicting, could be malware, just to label a couple of examples.
As for doing it with every site, not necessarily. For example, if it's an error in JavaScript, the problem will only surface on sites using JavaScript. Or it could be the code written is using a feature that is not supported or was changed for a specific version of a plug-in or feature of the browser. Such as I believe almost all browsers support HTML5, but dig in and you may find they do not all support the same features of HTML5.
You also label that it did not work on:
Firefox - Is this the current version?
Safari - Is this on a Windows computer, if so, APple ended support and updates of Safari long time ago, so it's not even in the running.
IE8 - Microsoft ended support of that long ago, you need to go to IE11 and if your Operating System does not support IE11, time for an OS upgrade or a new device.
Edge - I would not bother with that for this issue.
I would try Chrome. If you are still running XP, Chrome ended XP support in 2016.
If you can provide a screenshot like Chibi suggested, we may have some other ideas. You can also trying hitting the site from another computer to see what happens.

The Safari is on a Mac. The IE 8 is on a Windows 7 laptop. The idea of spending hundreds of dollars on a new computer to visit one website is so ludicrous, I can't believe you typed it.
I didn't have this problem two weeks ago. Now I have it. Nothing has changed on my computers, so obviously something has changed on the site. Which is what I said to begin with.

It is possible that Internet Brands who owns and maintains this site and it's software made a change that is not compatible with IE8.

While it may not work with YOUR version of Firefox, Safari, IE, it works fine for others with fully up to date software. IE8 should not be used anymore, ever. It is old, unsupported, and not secure. If Safari doesn't work, find an update for it, if possible. What operating system is on the Mac? Older IOS do not support the latest Safari, so the same issue as IE8 - old, unsupported. You may need to uninstall and install the latest Firefox.
It sounds to me like it's an issue with your software, not the website. Best of luck.

No, it wouldn't do it on every site visited. Various sites update & maintain their software differently. I am able to visit this site with all of my devices (1xWin 7, 3xWin 10) on each browser with no issue.

I tried to install IE11. The Microsoft website tells me I can't because I already have a more current browser installed.
It turns out it is an Internaet Brands issue, because it also happens on Chevroletforum.com. Is there any way you people can contact them and get this resolved?
Some of you have three and four cars, and this is your collectible or your weekend project. This is my daily driver. I reiterate, I don't have the money to buy a new computer to visit one website (or, for that matter, fifty).
Can you please help me with this?

We still need more information on your end to even go to IB with an issue.
We need screenshots of the error that you get, and we need screenshots of the About screen for each browser you are trying to view this in.
We can't have IB check for an issue without telling them what said issue is, and what version of the browser is being used.
You are also talking with 2 people (Jason and John), that are in IT for a living.
