Humm Why is my laptop slow ?
Fire Up Task manager
TOP CPU user is one of my Chrome Tabs
Yes it's Answerbank chewing up 48% ?
Oh well ....Click Close ...goodbye
All returned to normal.
Reopen TAB and back to hogging 45% of CPU.
Be warned.

What browser are you using?

You might do better putting this in the Technology section....

Are you viewing Firefox with or without the-extension-which-shall-not-be-named-for-fear-of-upsetting-the-Ed? (i.e. with or without the ads?). My own experience (using Firefox, rather than Chrome) is that it's the ads which cause the problems.

^^^Are you viewing Firefox

. . . should, of course read 'Are you viewing AB'
(I've not touched a drop yet!)

[SIRandyraven]

Using Chrome.
It's all the ads killing the LAPTOP .
Maybe I need an advert blocker or just don't have AB open.
oh well

>>>Maybe I need an advert blocker

You seem to have answered your own question ;-)

[SIRandyraven]

Yes I have.
Just searched Google Chrome Ad blocker ....click ...click ...install...
Now no adverts and flying ...
Problem fixed :-)
Can now leave AB tab open.

That was an easy fix.
Never considered an advert blocker before.

You might want to have your flash plugin (if you have it) to only activate for certain websites.
