ha...

that I did NOT expect.

Opening a website in chrome. Laptop's transforms into a drone and tries to lift off my desk and fly away with its fans. I see warning popups telling me that CPU Tº is 100ºC.

Opening website in FF. Laptop calmly opens it up and raises Tº from 50ºC to only 75ºC.

And here I thought that Chrome is fine-tuned for anything you can throw at it.

And the website really has nothing fancy in it... Just some text to read, images to see in the background and some buttons to click on.

its EN version, however, does not have the laptop-heater feature installed.

    Interesting effect. Where you be low on RAM as the liftoff happened?

    @Oktokolo at first - yes. Then I restarted Chrome, after which I had plenty of ram available.

    The website is making chrome's rendering processes come to the top of the top's output, but only every other top's refresh. And I'm running on Intell's integrated graphics. Would that be relevant?

    What I mean, I don't see cpu actually loaded that much. I definitely make it sweat a lot more when I'm compiling. Could this be related to gpu? I couldn't spot anything off gpu-related in a 15 seconds long website's profile. But I did see that it is redrawing something quite often

    @netikras that could be an explanation. Firefox is more efficient rendering normal stuff (at least it was, stuff changes a lot with browser performance)

    Jesus that thing too like 15 seconds to load for me.

    While that page seem to render way more than it should (maybe some elaborate fingerprinting - did not research), it was only one second out of 60 profiled after full pag load for me. It also leaks a minuscule amount of JS heap bytes per minute - but to leak a MiB, it would have to stay open for hours.

    If still curious - you might use the integrated profilers of Chrome and Firefox yourself...

    funny, i use opera normally, which apparently runs on chromium, and it's ok. and when i occasionally run FF, that's the one that spins up to 100%
