I'm at <10% with multiple tabs open on an old ass i5. Never going back to Chrome or Chromium based browsers. f*** Google.
Google update could 'destroy' ad-blocking

no idea how it fluctuates so badly between systems.
when I was using the macbook it pegged so hard that I was literally unable to perform any other execution.

Websites are so greedy for trying to protect their only source of revenue hahahahahahahahah
what add-ons do you have? I'm on windows 2016 as well, using 3-5% CPU, with 1,000 MB of memory with 61 tabs (only 11 are actually loaded) with like 15 add-ons

I've got nothing additional running. Now, these are VMs - provisioned with dual cores (+ hyperthreading) and only 8gb ram - but that should be more than enough headroom to open a single addon-less tab in Firefox. Maybe proxmox is doing something funny, but I did experience similar (even worse) issues on macos using a native macbook pro.
Dunno, it just doesn't work right for me. It works fine on my main desktop (ubuntu bionic) but since it doesn't work on all my devices, I just use chrome to manage all my bookmarks/lastpass updates etc. Someday maybe I'll try to fiddle around and see if I can't tweak it. I like it, nothing against them or their efforts (always prefer open-source), just doesn't work right for me.

They should have thought, "Maybe we shouldn't serve ads that give our users' devices cancer." But everyone knows industry self-regulation isn't really a thing, so they got stupid and greedy and pissed off visitors so now we have add-ons that block all ads. Too bad so sad.

Use Firefox. Simple solution here with FF plugins. uBlock Origin, NoScript, and CookieAutoDelete is like your bare minimum for using the internet and not having a truly heinous experience that will make you want to kill yourself. Not sure how anyone can put up with trying to use sites like Youtube or even just look at the news when it's nothing but a billion animated advertisements desperately trying to hijack the mouse cursor or blaring full volume garbage at them. Three simple addons and it all goes away.
P.S. I used to work in advertising.

tHANK YOU for this post. UO is pretty mandatory but I also was recommended privacy badger which I assume is similar to noscript or cookieautodelete. The internet is so messed up now that you need certain addons just to avoid being a pawn to advertising.

People on Reddit were freaking out about the FF thing.
"I didn't move to FF for this Google Big Brother shit"
Lol, it's a f***ing expired certificate.

is it $12/mo now? It used to be $12/yr. That's a lot of money to listen to idiots make trade proposals or to watch you spam up the lounge. 10 years ago I was on board. Now? Hard pass. Sorry HF.
You know what I’m a huge fan of? The advertisements on mobile that I sometimes accidentally click on trying to use the keyboard that then bring up a new tab and start playing a video. Boy I’m such a huge fan of having my website experience interrupted by ads, don’t know why anyone would ever try to block them when the staff here does such a good job with them.
