Any idea what this means? (Other than the the obvious )

Thanks

Even with an ad-blocker it's literally nuts the amount of CPU a PH tab uses in Chrome if you look in Chrome's task manager.

Does it happen all the time or only occasionally?

If the latter, most likely it’s a dodgy advert which has got past the advertising companies processes - dodgy as in badly put together or as in actually malicious, probably crypto currency mining.

Happens all the time on my work PC even though ads are blocked.
If I open more than a couple of PH tabs the laptop really slows down.

Only recently started.

Am running Wipr, have been for a while.

Asking as its the first time I've seen it, on any web page.

Must admit I browse mainly on my phone and over the last week or so, I’ve noticed the battery is a lot less at the end of the day than it was before, and that’s with the same usage time.

Yup, PH is CPU intensive. My MBP gets seriously hot when I'm browsing PH, close PH and the CPU throttles back...

Install a JavaScript blocker plug-in for your browser.

You'll lose a little functionality, but JavaScript can generally be re-enabled quickly when you need it.

I use Disable JavaScript for Firefox which is both browser tab and site specific, and has a handy on/off button in address bar.

I think it's this... at least in part.

{{{
function i() {
var n = $(".breadcrumb-toolbar p:first, .breadcrumb ul, #breadcrumb ul, .breadcrumb-toolbar");
n.length > 0 ? n.appendTo($("#navComponent .innerContent")) : setTimeout(function() {
i()
}, 1)
}
}}}

i.e. it checks the DOM, then waits a millisecond before doing it again. Looks like a bag of st to me.

Code inserts seem as fked as everything else.

CPU is going mental on my MBP, fans on, as soon as I close PH it returns to normal.

PH is using 50% of the CPU on Chrome task manager!

Thread was started 2nd September so over a month and I am able to replicate the issue suggesting there is not intention to fix this issue anytime soon. I have adblocker installed and even disabled the acceptable ads filter but I saw the CPU spiking on active PH pages.

Based on what 768 mentioned above I have gone into javascript settings and added [*.]pistonheads.com to the block list. CPU usage has gone down considerably now.

Chrome and MBP by the way.

Lolwut. That's retarded. Jquery is great but it has lead to some appalling coding practices.
