It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
See, that’s where the messed up part is. If I’m reading this correctly, it looks like Chrome (being a Google product) is programmed to start hoovering up CPU and RAM if it detects a YouTube ad blocker. Firefox wouldn’t do that because it’s not a Google product.
Which to me isn’t just not cool, it’s moving Chrome into the realm of malware: use our product as we intend or your computer will become borderline non-functional.
All nonFree software is malware
That's disgusting![emoji what-the-hell what-the-hell](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0db459dd-6f2a-4456-a25e-e795c2046ce9.png)
Oh, so when I had Chrome it wasn't just chrome eating up RAM because it was poorly designed bloatware, it was maliciously designed bloatware. That's pretty fucked up.
Apparently it’s actually a bug with specifically Adblock plus on chrome not so much google. Ublock origin users apparently haven’t had any issues w yt on chrome. At least that’s what I’ve read. Google is still a trash company regardless
I'm on chrome/ublock and no problems with yt (famous last words?)
I have a set up like this for work and ice also has no issues
IMO one of the reasons they're rolling this out to random people and not everybody all at once isn't just to manage the backlash, it's to make it harder to diagnose exactly what's happening. So maybe.
Well fingers crossed then lol
In my experience it hoovered the CPU and RAM since forever that's why I switched to Firefox
