https://civitai.com/videos causes palemoon to use constantly increasing amount of memory (~ +1GB every 10-15 seconds), while interface becomes barely responsive.
Videos only play for first 10-15 seconds after opening the page, after which they freeze and update maybe 1 frame in 20-30 seconds.
Error console is constantly spewing new lines about "unreachable code after return statement", faster then lagging interface can scroll them

Sounds awful, like malware, I don't even want to go to the site to try it out.

(I'll just confirm the issue. High CPU & increasing RAM usage.
And, you may even need to physically kill PM [after you have "closed" it].

Time to use a different browser.
FF 115 also eats CPU.
Memory remains static. And at least you can actually interact with the site & watch the "vids".)

It seems missing CSS container-type is causing it to use the wrong size, so it continuously loads images, rather than waiting for scrolling to reach the end; here's a userstyle to explicitly set the height.

Code: Select all

@-moz-document domain("civitai.com") {
  .scroll-area {
    max-height: 100vh
  }
}
And just for fun here's a Modify HTTP Response filter to remove the adblock image (may break on update).

Code: Select all

[["civitai.com",["/_app.*\\.js$/",["if(!o)return null","return null"]]]]
