High CPU usage on the main Framework website

General Topics
1

Was just browsing around the main page when i started noticing my CPU fan spinning up.

I did a little testing and once i start browsing around the framework pages my CPU usage went from 15%, to 30%, then 50% and after a few mins was hitting 85-90%. If i close the browser tab it’s running on i’m back to 2-3% utilisation, if i re-open the framework browser tab it starts eating up loads of CPU again.

Not entirely sure if it’s my browser or the website itself, but i thought i’d mention it.

PC this is happening on:
Win11
Firefox 136.0 with ublock origin
Ryzen 7 5800X3D with 32GB RAM

I might be having the same issue, as I have noted an unusally high cpu load on rear occasions. I typically have the webbrowser running in the background.

Do you have hardware acceleration enabled in Firefox?

I wouldn’t even know how.

Check the graphics section of about:support.

6

the option doesn’t exit on my install

I checked and it was enabled.

Also tried toggling the setting
media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled
on, but that didn’t have any noticeable effect after a restart
