With FT this jumps to 1000MB of RAM used.
Is FT doing cybercurrency mining?
Same issue here. When on FT, the laptop gets hot, the fan comes on, and Task Manager shows 50% or more CPU usage. Other ad-heavy sites like ESPN don't pull resources like FT. It's now the worst site for CPU usage that I frequent.
