I've been using chrome for the last couple of weeks. The add on works for me? Didn't have any problems on my end.
Firefox has been a problem tho, it seems to have a conflict with something on my computer. The fans spin up and things are laggy A.F. I look in task manager and resource monitor but don't see what would be the problem, but I'm also self-taught on computers and don't really know what I'm looking at. Right now the cpu is at 13% average for FF, and I've seen it as high as 30%. I don't know what's normal. I'm using an Asus k53ta laptop with 8 gigs ram and W8. I'd much prefer FF because privacy concerns...I hope the new one due out soon fixes the problems.
Another thought that just crossed my mind is there may be bit-coin miners co-opting one or more sites I use. Just read about this exploit but don't know how to find out if that's the case. It would explain the heavy cpu usage
