Ridiculously high CPU usage occurring on random open tabs - 25%+

    I'm seeing the same thing on my machine - sometimes 30+% CPU just on a single tab.

      JeffRichDavis When I'm using a tab, the CPU usage would sometimes go up to 20-30%. However when this issue happens even without using the tab, it would go above 100% for that tab even if it is in the background (see the screen shot - the CPU spike happened just as I was writing this message). On occasions over the past couple of days I've seen the usage spike to 200%+

    Yes I'm facing this issue too but I think its because of Dark Reader extension. I think this update broke that extension and am seeing CPU usage above 25%

      Is that something built in? As I don't have that extension.

        Mapantz interesting. So when I have the high CPU usage and I delete that process from task manager I get a balloon pop up saying that dark reader extension has crashed. That's why I thought the update might have broken dark reader extension. Could be a different underlying issue too then
