Adblocker Plus is locking up my Webbrowser and Computer


Fedora 25/KDE

When I'm browsing in Chrome and Adblocker Plus is enabled it locks up my Browser and computer and I have to Disable Adblocker to be able to browse in Chrome.

These Websites sure don't like when I have Adblocker Plus Enabled.

Same results in Firefox.

How can I get around this problem ?

I assume you mean "Adblock Plus"? That shouldn't happen, but try using uBlock Origin instead.

Extensions are always potential problem. I recently enabled Googles own "Disable HTML5 Autoplay" extension (in Chrome), and ever since when I select a video Chrome sends 1 core 100% and starts eating others as well.
So even Google can't get it right for their own browser - go figure ...
