latest chromium-browser using high cpu on any page

[sd]

Hi thanks for the suggestion, it helped me though not directly. I was a 
problem with one of the extensions I was using (Vimium).

I created a bug report using ubuntu-bug chromium-browser - and in 
process of doing that I looked at the files it attached and then come to 
the idea to check the extensions - I put now the bug status as invalid 
as one cannot delete them. By, the way, I have to remember never to use 
ubuntu-bug anymore - it attaches a lot of files to the bug - that while 
important for the bug developers, I do not feel like sharing - I removed 
them manually from the bug report.

It was not about my machine being particularly slow (it is not the 
latest, but i3 core is still powerful enough) - the vimium was also 
broken some time ago, and it seems now with latest chrome it really 
kills the cpu on any page. I tried also another linux chromium build of 
the same source version - it has same problem.

Firefox is a solid browser, I use it up and now, to test something, or 
as fall-back and I have it always installed and I am happy with it, but 
it is not a replacement for Chromium - the developers tool and the js 
debugger are better in Chromium; and especially with regard to usability 
in low end-devices: the horizontal scroll (Shift + mouse wheel) in web 
pages works in Chromium, but it is not supported in Firefox; Firefox 
consumes more screen estate in limited resolution that Chrome (as 
Firefox cannot hide the window manager border) (you can handle window 
decoration with an openbox shortcut, but it is not convenient).

Thanks again. I am happy it is not a direct chromium problem, though 
browsing without Vimium for a while is not much fun.
