I don't think it is possible. Instead of trying to use synchronous queries, you can use the asynchronous approach and use the AJAX done event.

Example using jQuery.ajax()

jQuery.ajax({
    url: "URL HERE",
    data: "whatever you are sending"
}).done(function (data) {
    // Do things with data
});

So, instead of using a synchronous request, you can use the Asynchronous request and just execute code AFTER the request has completed. So, it won't freeze your browser.
