Frontpage and articles taking up huge amount of CPU utilisation


Recommended Posts

I have my adblocker disabled, I go to Neowin.net and the CPU utilisation goes through the roof then I click on an article then try to make a post which results in massive lag between what I type and what ends up in a text box. The issues don't occur in the forum itself but only on the front pages. Below is a screenshot of what I am talking about.

Could well be that ad then. Could you right click on it, and choose "Inspect Element" (or equivalent in your browser) and post a screenshot of the developer console - showing the URL of the ad element if you can. @Steven P. can then forward that to the ad company, and get the ad blocked

    • I could be incorrect but I believe ethernet in all TVs is Fast Ethernet unless otherwise stated. Even my LG C2 (much more expnesive than this TV) is also Fast Ethernet and seeing how WiFi standards are improving, I wouldn't hold my breadth to wait for most manufacturers to switch to gigabit ethernet port, just like how most TVs have 2GB RAM and 4-8 GB ROM.

    • Google Chrome's new AI summarizes store reviews for you by Pradeep Viswanathan We frequently encounter various e-commerce websites while Browse online. Before placing an order, it’s common to look up reviews on Google to verify the site's legitimacy and product quality. Now, Google aims to streamline this process directly through the Chrome browser. For users in the US, Google Chrome now offers store reviews to improve your online shopping experience. Google is using Google Shopping data and other popular review websites to offer helpful insights. Here's how this feature works: When you visit an e-commerce website on Google Chrome, you can click the icon to the left of the web address. Google Chrome will then display an AI-generated summary of reviews. The summary will have details about customer service, product quality, shipping, pricing, and returns. On a related note, Google today announced the expansion of AI Mode to Google Search users in the UK. AI Mode is Google's AI-powered search experience, similar to Microsoft Bing's Copilot Search. While it may not be helpful for simple queries like asking for the weather or navigation queries, it will be helpful for more complex, multi-part questions and follow-ups. Google's AI Mode is built on a custom version of the Gemini 2.5 model, Google's flagship multi-modal AI model. The Google team wrote the following regarding the new AI Mode in Google Search: The new AI Mode will appear as a tab on the Google Search results page and is also available on mobile in the Google app for Android and iOS.
