Red counter in ABP icon

Post by Potshot »

I have noticed lately that the little red counter at the top of Safari really spins and counts up into the thousands when I am on Yahoo Finance page. I wonder what going on with this?
Anybody else notice anything like this counter going crazy?

http://finance.yahoo.com this is the page and when you scroll down the counter really starts spinning. I don't know about filter lists or what localization of yahoo is. I am using Safari on iMac.

click ABP icon, options, you'll see the enabled filter lists.
localization ==> I mean you are in US, or France or etc.

I tried it using easylist, easyprivacy, but in chrome (I cant test a mac system) and I get no issue (I mean there are maximum 100 hits on counter but no thousands)

However you should go into console and see there which request is repeatedly logged. Then post it here.

I'm in the US and ABP is enabled on the site. In the activity monitor Safari seems to use the most cpu time. My counter goes into the thousands on Yahoo but no problems on other sites.

I noticed that this problem doesn't happen when I use Opera browser. So it's something in Safari.
