I'm getting a large memory leak on the Ubisoft Splinter Cell: Conviction website. It seems to be propagated by scrolling through the video carousel. Memory usage drops down to normal after navigating from the page. Other flash websites don't seem to be having a problem. Anyone else seeing this?

Link: Splinter Cell: Conviction

Firefox 3.5.2

Windows 7 RTM x86

Flash plugin 9.0.124.0

Replicated the problem with Google Chrome 4.0.203.2, Memory shot up well over 300 MB, and caused my machine to not only get sluggish, but become unresponsive for bits at a time. Tested it on FF 3.5 as well, same issue. Other flash sites are fine though.

deffo flash, cpu usage goes through the roof too, I scrolled through some of the carousel and ended up with 72% CPU and over 1.3GB mem (On Win 7 RC x64, Fx 3.5.2) IE8 did the same, didnt note the figures though but mem usage was around the same and CPU pretty close to that. Close the tab its in and boom, back to 0-1% CPU and 360k Mem

      low latency mode is still bugged and causing bootup times slow to a crawl. To fix, you have to disable the feature with vivetool. Seems as though it's not rolled out to a lot of people yet since I've only been able to find only a handful of people that are having issues.

      I would recommend the Nothing 2a. The battery life is awesome, 2 or 3 days without going into battery power mode. The only thing that I've been looking into recently is that it doesn't "support" Graphene OS. I'm pretty sure there is a way, I just need to do some more looking.

      You'd have to show me an example of a listing that says Gen 1, usually i'd expect that to mean Snapdragon Gen 1 (a type of chipset, which the Pixels don't use). Pixel 7 - White - 128gb - Unlocked - 85%+ battery - Grade B+ - $159 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/398046617206 Pixel 7 - Obsidian - 128gb - Unlocked - 80%+ battery - Very Good - $157 with free delivery - https://www.ebay.com/itm/355617734563 Both look to be sold by companies with good feedback, dealing with refurbished phones and state the phones are unlocked with a clean IMEI. Obviously I can't vouch for either company though, but the listings look good in my opinion.

      Because Chrome is doing it. And no one said anyone had to update immediately. That's silly. They could update every day for all I care as long as it's fast, and the next time the browser restarts, you're good. And the basic point is not to tee it up for bigger updates. As it is right now, all the windows I had open reopen anyway except inprivate.

      Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time
