• Slow downs, freezes, & increased memory usage on LinkedIn's web site?

    From ant@ant@zimage.comANT (Ant) to alt.comp.software.firefox on Wed Jul 8 21:51:00 2026
    From Newsgroup: alt.comp.software.firefox

    Is anyone else getting slow downs, freezes (Firefox even asked me to
    stop the script), and increase memory usage on LinkedIn's web site in
    Firefox v152 web browser? For the last couple weeks, I noticed https://www.linkedin.com/feed/ is really slow as I scroll down in my
    updated, 64-bit W10 Pro. I have seen it hog RAM peak up to 11 GB when I
    tried to exit my web browser!

    Is anyone else noticing this too? Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

    More likely to be a Windows problem, letrCOs face it.

    I do not use LinkedIn anymore.
    LinkedIn has become dirty.


    LinkedIn is illegally searching your computer

    Linkedin smelled bad to me from the first time I encountered them. They
    just too aggressively pushed people to create an account and wanted far
    too much personal information. I have studiously avoided them ever
    since. Much like I have avoided Facebook.

    John C. I filter crossposts, various trolls & dizum.com. Doing this
    makes this newsgroup easier to read & more on-topic. Take back the tech companies from India & industry from China.

    I created a Linkedin account but then, a couple of months/a year later, because I was getting no benefit out of checking who might want to
    communicate with me so I resigned/exited/whatever you are supposed to do
    to get out .... but, ten years or so later,
    I still get messages from Linkedin telling me that sooooo many people
    have viewed my Profile.

    Why now?
