Well... s***
I deactivated 1.10 for the time being...
I noticed in the Firefox 124.0.2, with CanvasBlocker 1.10, that memory consumption would go from 84 MB (without CanvasBlocker 1.10) in https://translate.google.com to 3GB (with CanvasBlocker 1.10) and memory would be consumed until the computer completely freezes, and I had to force the restart by using the physical power button. In the CanvasBlocker 1.9 I didn't have issues.
Please try canvasblocker-beta-1.10.1.20240405.zip
Please try canvasblocker-beta-1.10.1.20240405.zip
Works again.
@kkapsner
Thanks for the fast fix, I was able to load your unsigned beta as temporary addon in about:debugging
because stable channel (unlike dev,nightly,esr) does not allow to use xpinstall.signatures.required;false
now the YouTube issues are fully gone! Hurray!
You should be able to install it permanently via https://canvasblocker.kkapsner.de/versions/
Thanks for the link to signed betas! This works great. I close the issue now, unless someone still needs it.
@kkapsner The auto-update of your self-hosted versions has some issues, after I installed the latest 1.10.1 version, Firefox immediately tries to "update" to version 1.10 from March 30th, which re-introduces the "CB slows down this site" problem.
I know... the version scheme has to be changed for the betas. I think I will create a new alpha tomorrow with a version that prevents this problem.
@kkapsner Is there a real need for a split between "Alpha" and "Beta" versions though?
not really... and the split is very fuzzy already...
Update for "beta" should work now again.
The current beta version is my candidate for 1.10.1 - please test it.
Description
"A website is slowing Firefox, do you want to stop it?" warnings appearing in the browser. I first suspected uBlock Origin being the culprit, but when I checked only CanvasBlocker was recently updated.
Expected Behaviour
The expected behaviour is that of version 1.9, which was restored as soon as I downgraded. So I strongly believe the upgrade to 1.10 caused the hanging during Youtube video playback. In particular when searching and jumping to offsets in the video.
Current Behaviour
I don't know what further details I could add. A software regression is a type of software bug where a feature that has worked before stops working.
Possible Solution
Downgrade to 1.9
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Context
There is no further explanation needed, really.
Your Environment
Your Settings
Glad to provide them! https://github.com/spacesynth/userscripts-collection/blob/master/addon_settings/CanvasBlocker.json
I'm quoting this guy though: https://github.com/kkapsner/CanvasBlocker/issues/698
As other Google / Alphabet sites seem to be affected.
