My Browser Builds (Part 5)

[AstroSkipper]

I sincerely hope that constantly posting offtopic isn't a form of senility. In the last few pages, one doesn't get anything about the actual topic here. @roytam1 must have a very thick skin.

You're not looking hard enough.  Page 1 of this "Part 5" discussion is all basically on-topic.  Tons of OT on Page 2, on Page 3, on Page 4, and that's where I stopped.

TONS of OT here, Mr. OT Police.  And yeah, same goes for "Part 1", "Part 2", "Part 3", and "Part 4".

GOOD THING TOO, it's actually ROYTAM'S THREADS that brought me here to MSFN.

No clue what my search-engine search was at the time, but the ROYTAM THREAD was in the TOP THREE for the results.

Been here ever since.  But YES, to your point, maybe some days I should just READ instead of TYPE.

If you call me Mr. OT Police, then I regret to inform you at this point that you are the Mr. OT Master.

@roytam1 eBay must have recently changed their layout. Pages with items lead now to a 100% CPU utilisation on my single core machine, even with uBO. The actual causer seems to be the item images and in some cases also the item description. Weeks ago, it was working fine. Now, surfing eBay with New Moon 28 is no fun anymore. BTW, same issue in Mypal 68.

Interlink lost mails again. Maybe the problem was that I updated it...since I usually don't have that kind of problems with UXP stuff, I didn't note the version, it was from the time Tobin decided to rage quit, but there were subsequent updates.

Maybe Google changed something? Seems doubtful, though. I've set it to sync only the mails from last 30 days now instead of everything today, I don't really need all of them locally, will see if it happens again. When it happened the first time, I also moved the profile to more spacious disk.

I could go to Epyrus or roytam1's MailNews, but since I haven't a clue what the issue is, whether it's an actual regression and if it was fixed or not, I don't know if it's worth the bother. Or maybe the issue has always been present and it only happens after you have certain amount of mails, over 20 GB in my case.

Here are two screenshots taken from an article on eBay (Germany) in New Moon 28:





All images are now much bigger than before. And CPU utilisation remains permanently at 100%.

[UCyborg]

So performance issues on UXP are popping over and over again. I checked eBay and it doesn't seem to be related to JavaScript. Those 100% would be 4,166666666666667% on a high-end gaming rig with 24-core CPU. I like Linux's way of reporting CPU usage better.

[AstroSkipper]

The performance was bearable some weeks ago. I assume it is more CSS related. It seems to be a problem with images. If images are disabled by uBO on eBay, the CPU utilisation becomes normal again. BTW, there is a new, images related url in the uBO popup on eBay. Something with "fast".  Apart from that, a faster CPU doesn't make the pictures any smaller on eBay in New Moon 28 or Mypal 68.  Anyway! This is probably another modern, bells and whistles improvement from eBay for the bin. 

P.S.: The new, images related URL in the uBO popup on eBay is ebayimg.map.fastly.net.

Do you honestly expect me to let my graphics card idle while the CPU has to perform graphics tasks? That's not a solution. But it is passed around as such on quite some forums...

Ebay.de works well here, I believe apart from site un-optimizing/bloating, P4's 2 FPU pipelines aren't doing it any favors (P3 had 3, Athlons too). I had maybe the fastest P4, single core engineering sample, of Cedar Mill with HT (3.6GHz) in one of my machines and it was so sadly slow compared to normal processors. Intel debauchery, nothing more, too big to fail they said, now look at them - delisted from DOW, replaced by nVidia and rightfully so.

That link (but also the images) has so many tracking parameters in the URL,that it is a very bad idea to use an extension (and browser) with no filtering capabilities.

But if tracking is not your priority,do not consider these written words of mine important.

And good luck with any exposure to a possible privacy violation to third-party as well.

You need to disable -webkit-animation

Unsure your best route to do so (I disable via Proxomitron).

You could use a custom style sheet to override.  Below should work.

* {
    animation-delay: initial !important;
    animation-direction: initial !important;
    animation-duration: initial !important;
    animation-fill-mode: initial !important;
    animation-iteration-count: initial !important;
    animation-name: initial !important;
    animation-play-state: initial !important;

Thanks for your suggestion!  I'll try it out later on my Windows XP computer. Since Stylus no longer works in Mypal 68, and Stylish is no longer installed in New Moon 28, I will try to inject the code into the eBay pages via the userContent.css file.

I just quoted the original link which worked much better some weeks ago. FYI, I  always use uBlock Origin Legacy for filtering web content in New Moon 28. And in Mypal 68, uBlock Origin. And a few user scripts.
