I just blocked all the ads with ublock origin. Hopefully that fixes the issue. I like to let ads run on pages I use, but this is too much.

Their ads likeā¦ grow. Once one is running, it will continue to eat up more and more resources until it is hogging them all.
I never had a problem with it in years past but lately it makes my internet browser rather unhappy after I have it opened for a while
Iām on Opera GX with uBlock Origin. Seems like the problem is with Chrome atm.
I use Chrome with the Kaspersky browser extension. I just opened Wowhead and Kaspersky immediately blocked more than 200 attempts of data collection and 35 banners. Maybe consider getting an ad-blocker?

From time to time their scripts get wonky. Noscript addon can help.
its pretty much required with wowhead. unless you enjoy getting keyloggers and virsuses.
Ditch mainline Chromium browsers and embrace adblock.
If you want to support certain sites, then set up a browser with a blocker thatās easy to default-allow but ready to drop the axe the second it abuses that trust. I like AdGuard for that. Then a separate browser + Ublock for when Iām serious.

honestly firefox is the way to go.
I switched to Brave browser and havenāt had an issue. Wowhead was breaking Chrome and Edge constantly. Brave has been amazing. Theyāre huge on privacy and not letting rampant scripts run amok.
firefox is too. its to the point where it wont let certain dnd websites even run.
