PM persistently freezes on www.researchgate.net

Unread post by lashkevi » 2022-07-20, 13:40

PM persistently and completely freezes on this site. It seems that it overloads the X server. The X server processor usage jumps to 50% (on processor kernel is 100%), and fall to nearly zero after I kill PM. Hardware acceleration is off. In the Error Console the only warning is (I translate from Russian, see the screenshot):

Code: Select all

Try turning on hardware acceleration.
Also please list your add-ons. The problem is likely not there, but you never know

I'm looking at the same article on Researchgate (Quantum criticality of spinons), and my CPU usage is very low, between 0% and 5%, and I don't have any freezing. The only difference from you is I'm not logged in. I requested a log-in to test it, but they haven't approved my new account yet. So it's possible that once you log in there's some script they are running that is torturing your system.

I do have hardware acceleration enabled.

The advertisements seem to be rather expensive at times (up to 25% CPU, which is 100% of 1 of 4 cores).

So throw in an adblocker & see if that helps.

It seems that it works. At least, I have been browsing the site for 10 minutes and PM is still working :D . The processor usage of the X server is also about 1%. I always thought that HW acceleration is something that can cause problems rather than solve them. Thank you.

There is no ads on this site. Though it is rather heavy because of displaying PDF files and pictures provided by authors and because of a sofisticated interface.

And yet uBlock blocks this url:
https://quantcast.mgr.consensu.org/choi ... /choice.js
With a filter "||consensu.org^" from "Peter Lowe’s Ad and tracking server list".


Debian, Xserver, Palemoon 31.1git - i have no problems with this website (even with ublock disabled and without HW accel). Do you need to be logged in?
