Basilisk takes 50% of CPU even after closing a page full of GIF/GIFV pics.

Basilisk takes 50% of CPU even after closing a page full of GIF/GIFV pics (and with another Reddit tabs) with quite long application uptime - and if I try to close Basilisk, it would still appear in my 3rd-party process manager (i.e. Process Hacker) & will take 50% of CPU usage & won't exit at all.

I have to close it from Process Hacker forcibly.

Example page: https://old.reddit.com/r/watchpeopledie - sorry for the NSFW nature of this subreddit.

Do you experience this too or just me?

Is it related with the web cache?

Not seeing that using Basilisk latest win7 x64.

I'd guess you picked up a malware cryptominer.

Are you running an ad blocker? Perhaps that would help.

uBlock Origin + uMatrix.

Any non-default lists loaded?

Yep. Including the hosts files.

It may be the culprit as Basilisk doesn't behave like that if I "refresh" it.

I'm only using Ubo, here's what I have loading:

uBO + uMatrix may be overkill.

I use the "firefox-legacy" version of it (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/relea ... acy-1.16.4).

Have you disabled one extension at a time to see if one may be giving you problems?

It isn't Basilisk' fault.

"Refreshing" Basilisk would solve this, of course.

The culprit must be one/some of my extensions.
