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. :)
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.
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?
