I'm having this issue with every Firefox based browser (Firefox, Floorp, Librewolf, ...)..
Whenever I leave the browser open for a few days (for example when I only close the lid on my laptop), it slowly becomes almost unresponsive on heavier sites such as Youtube, especially with more than one YOutube tab open in the background - to the state where a simple pause of seek takes several seconds, sometimes up to maybe 20 - or when the tab is still playing the video even though it was closed seconds ago... etc.. basically, there's a lag with every action on Youtube. The same browser on other pages, working just fine, everything else on the computer is also working just fine.
This is how it works on my slower i3-6300 based laptop (my bed companion), it's a bit better with a newer and more powerful hardware, but still visible.. and annoying.
It is not a lack of RAM, once it starts to behave like this, I can close those tabs and it still happens even with only one youtube tab open. According to the "top" command, I have plenty of RAM available, with another huge amount only occupied by the cache.
And when I restart the browser, even with 20-30 youtube tabs loaded, it works just fine, for a day or two, then it starts to slow down...
I am obviously using an adblock, so it crossed my mind that's the reason but honestly, I'm not sure what's more annoying - a slow browser that can be "cured" by a restart or the internet with ads 🙂
Anyone with the same experience? Or maybe even a solution?

@peterkotrcka I'm sure you thought about this, but just checking - do you have other extensions (beyond the ad blocker)? Have you tried without them?

@peterkotrcka you can try https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/task-manager-tabs-or-extensions-are-slowing-firefox and see if an addon starts using too much resources after day or two.

@peterkotrcka
I'm having the same problem with open YouTube tabs and my adblockers running.
As I couldn't find a solution I switched to Vivaldi. -

"Auto tab discard" might prevent some of the causes.

@freezr That kind of works, yes.. but the problem is I have several unfinished videos open at the same time so I'm afraid to "kill" those tabs because I might lose the current position in the video. But I will test that..

@peterkotrcka probably the ad blocker as per your post. Find Newpipe on phone better for remembering video positions.

Let's see if anyone on Bluesky / the ATmosphere can say more https://bsky.app/profile/dustyweb.bsky.social/post/3mg6qipl6a22o

@russss @cwebber that makes a warped kind of sense I suppose. Everything is just AI eating itself now.
-
@cwebber it's rampant...
-
@cwebber oh it uses tailwind and yarn classics. I see...
-
@Floppy @cwebber to be fair, that's because Claude writes CLAUDE.md itself - there's not any human effort involved here
-
@cwebber I guess that's why BlueSky is down right now... 😂
-
I mean when I check my feed much of the Bluesky eng team seems to be posting about how great Claude is all the time so I have been background wondering how common vibecoding is in that ecosystem

My cousin is suffering and needs treatment and food. He appeared on Al Jazeera but received no support. Please help him. The one who guides to good is like the one who does it. 🩶
