Chromium is using 40% of CPU when browsing ie Twitter.

[Jonas Diaz]

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

When I browse in Chromium in pages like Twitter, Chromium uses the 40% of mi CPU and I just have 3 tabs open. Sometimes I get to close the browser but the process is still comsuming mi CPU, so i have to kill the process manually.

When this happens, can you open task manager under tools in the menu and see which tabs are actually consuming CPU? Or are you not able to open the menu?
