On an unrelated note, I opened this url in a new tab, took a quick look, then came back to read the comments.

A few minutes after I hear the fans on my pc start ramping up. Sure enough, I open the system monitor and see chrome going crazy on my CPU. In chrome, I open the task manager, then click sort by CPU. The entry at the top of the list reads:

> subframe: facebook[dot]com

I get taken to the open downdetector.com tab after double clicking the entry. After closing the tab everything goes back to normal.

Does anyone know why or what downdetector/facebook would do that requires 100% of my CPU's resources?

PS. I have ublock origin installed. My cpu is an i9-12900K.



That is unrelated, but I've seen similar issues recently when logging into Canvas (you know for school). Maxes out my CPU and if I leave it long enough it crashes the tab due to memory...it's not displaying anything special...


Facebook is losing too much money from iOS denying it the goods, so theZuck has mandated SDK to start mining crypto?
