| 1447146 | 2018-03-08 11:41:00 | I have been installing Linux on an old Dell Mini notebook. When I loaded Chrome Browser and the Google page came on, things came to a halt, with a CPU loading of 100%. I replaced the Google page with DuckDoo and the CPU loaded at 7%, also got the same result with Bing. I had not noticed it before, but the little Dell has an Atom single core CPU and tends to be on the slow side. Normally the loading would decrease as soon as another page was opened, but in this case the CPU came to a standstill preventing another page from opening. It must be the stupid gimmick that runs on the page. Is there a way to stop the script from running? |

Also use startpage.com, google results without google snooping on your privacy. If you use things that stop scripts, trackers and ads, you should expect delays. |
