Raising this thread as I've had issues with FT and Chrome for years and the latest FT updates have made this far worse.

I run Windows 7 (all latest patches) and Chrome (all latest patches). Whether FT is the only tab or one of many tabs I have open it grinds Chrome to a standstill for 10s of seconds at a time, then it tries to catch up to the scrolling I've tried to do, then it freezes again. I'm not sure if it's related to all of the ads being loaded or the auto-scroll feature that's now in use. However, as I said, before the auto-scroll feature was possible I still had this issue so I'm more inclined to think ad related.

This only happens when I'm looking into a thread. When I'm looking at a list of threads (e.g. United MileagePlus landing page) this doesn't seem to happen.

This screen shot was when I had been reading a thread for several minutes.



The one FT tab was taking up over 2GB of memory and 75% CPU utilization. I have an i7.

The second I get out of the thread by going back to the list of threads in a forum or closing the tab then Chrome settles down, releases a bunch of memory and the CPU calms down to 'normal'.

Thoughts?
Thanks,
