in worst case that all networks are cut, I don't think I can have any alternative to connect back to internet since starlink is not available here.

their "justice" is now "apple polishing" so don't hold any breathe on them.

and "rule of law" is officially a joke now.

Why does this page cause massive CPU usage in New Moon 28? The Skyrim forum features a scrolling blurred background that is barely visible. Detached backgrounds should be a bit more heavy. But why so much? The performance is better in Serpent.

I've no answers, but you're brave for visiting New Reddit with an UXP browser. This one's not the highest, some other Reddit pages put browser in the loop where it puts 100% load on one CPU core. Must be bad for laptop battery and electric bill.

... And that's why I'm using:

https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/377047-old-reddit-redirect

and

Old Reddit Favicon :

// ==UserScript==
// @name     Old Reddit Favicon
// @version  0.1

  document.getElementsByTagName('head') [0].appendChild(link);

... Does that mean you have an account with reddit (assuming those are "reddit preferences") ? FWIW, the userscript I linked to allows for "anonymous" redirection to "old.reddit.com" ...

FWIW, I, too, can confirm that when loading

https://old.reddit.com/r/skyrim/comments/15ogxfp/marker_stuck_on_void_teleportation_room/?rdt=47005

in St52 and that tab is focused, I have insane CPU consumption :angry: :

in St52 and that tab is focused, I have insane CPU consumption :

I think the main culprit is this:

https://b.thumbs.redditmedia.com/vVqCiuMuYjtIEG4538PA7zjsBOXQi37pmfABOgXoEQY.css

...with its CSS Animations.

This interests me as I really hate webpages that gratuitously consume CPU after they've rendered. Fair enough if its essential to the function of what's being displayed but not just to add some pointless effects.

I came across this as a panacea to killing all CSS Animations:

*
 {
     /*CSS transitions*/
     -o-transition-property: none !important;
     -moz-transition-property: none !important;
     -ms-transition-property: none !important;
     -webkit-transition-property: none !important;
     transition-property: none !important;

     /*CSS transforms*/
     -o-transform: none !important;
     -moz-transform: none !important;
     -ms-transform: none !important;
     -webkit-transform: none !important;
     transform: none !important;

     /*CSS animations*/
     -webkit-animation: none !important;
     -moz-animation: none !important;
     -o-animation: none !important;
     -ms-animation: none !important;
     animation: none !important;
 }

Which I reduced to this:

*
 {
     transition-property: none !important;
     transform: none !important;
     animation: none !important;
 }

It certainly improves that Reddit page.

Ben.

Agreed! Been blocking them for years. :thumbup

I also block "box-shadows". Tons of box shadows on a page seems to effect scrolling smoothness so I just disable all of them.

I changed my mind! It breaks too many things (including MSFN) this seems better:

 *
   {
     animation-iteration-count: 0 !important;
   }

...it gets rid of the 'infinite' setting (I'm going for a global rule, not a per site rule).
