Comment on How to fix the internet

  I use pihole at home, but when I take my laptop out and about, I sometimes notice its fan going wild. Shut down the tab I’m reading and it calms down. What the hell are running on these sites?

    I remember one time wwhen I was browsing reddit for a few minutes (doing nothing else, fedora os, minimum stuff installed, no unusual activity in the process list, automatic updates disabled) and noticed my fans spinning a lot, so I opened the system monitor to check what was happening. It was registering high cpu usage in a firefox process, and it registered 40bg of downloaded data!

    It never happened again, so I guess it was some sort of bug they fixed, but still, it was something so bizarre to see.
