Chrome Plug-in Freezing Pixiv Tabs and Download History not registered(?)

[animan095]

A: Chrome is finding that Pixiv tabs are becoming unresponsive and prompts to close them B: As of today the Download button doesn't show the checkmark for "already downloaded" works in some tabs. Even after repeated downloads

A: As of very recently the performance of Chrome has dwindled in Pixiv pages. I check for other roundabout ways to solve the problem using some functions of chrome:flags, and also disabled most of my plugins. I lastly disabled Pixiv Toolkit and the performance returned. More thn three "right click-> open in newtab" actions would cause Pixiv to freeze.

B: Download button functions properly, but after the download, the checkmark that usually appears at the right part does not appear. Some tabs register the "event' properly after a re-download of the work (the tab doesn't prompt the window that warns a repeated work download too) The link of one of the works in which this happened is this one: https://www.pixiv.net/en/artworks/82193965

Chrome Ver 83.0.4103.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

For the sake of reference, I have very recently exported my Pixiv Toolkit history and imported in to a different user in chrome. I don't know if this could have cause the problem B

Update The behavior stated in this thread is only present in one of my browser users of Chrome. The first one that I use seldom has no issues whatsoever.

I can reproduce issue B after import you settings, but I don't import any history. I'll fix it after I find the reason. I can't reproduce issue A.

Thanks for the response, issue A might have been caused by the recent windows May 2020 update from what as I have read in some articles on the internet. I will hope that a patch and the rumored enhancement in the future will help.

I figured out what might be happening. The problem started when I activated the History setting. My guess is that because I like to open many Pixiv tabs, the process of recording each history might have "confused" the program. Nevertheless, I can say that by deactivating the History setting and restarting the browser I got my percieved performance back.

Thanks for the further information. I'll try reproduce it later.

@animan095 I opened 40+ tabs that all are animation work but didn't experience any freezing issue you mentioned. My PC has 16GB rom and the CPU is i7 6700, on ssd installed.

I think this issue might be hardware related, but I'll leave this issue open and keep my eye on the issue.

Thank you for the quick response. I am estranged to say that the amount of open tabs might not be the issue.

In one of my chrome user, where the History setting is active, I opened barely 40+ pixiv tabs (alongside 20+ other website tabs). Including artworks, users, and tags tabs, and after a few cycles of "right click + open in new window" the lag became apparent. I.e. Have to wait 5+ sec to be able to interact with the page, and/or being forced to restart chrome to continue browsing, chrome prompting to kill unresponsive pages, and chrome crashing under the load after a large amount of time

On another chrome user, without the History setting active, I have over 999+ open pixiv tabs. And the lag in my "right click + open in new window" is minimal. I.e. No waiting, no prompts. Less crashes.

Might be Hardware Related indeed, but my hardware specs do not seem that inferior processing wise. A possible reason could be that my computer is a ASUS FX504 laptop, or that I have Bitdefender antivirus installed

For now my experience with your useful plugin is great. So I believe this issue is not that important for now. If you feel like I could provide anything to help you I'll be more than glad to do so.

As always, thank you for your hard work!

Close it for now. Feel free to reopen it if necessary.
