  • Wanted to mention this seems to be fixed, but I was never able to find a tool that could tell me why it was occurring.

    It was ultimately NTP (clock), but it was actually the router clock. I switched PCs and I think my original PC had software to talk to the router, which must’ve been setting the time. It seems like it changed to a completely different time at some point.

    Changed it, then just released/renewed/flushed dns. I also manually turned on the time service at some point and ran a sync from the command prompt just to be safe. and everything is acting normally now.






  • Update: So far i’m down to 2 extensions:
    Ublock
    600% sound volume

    Memory still ballooned from 1GB to 5GB.

    When I checked processes before closing, even after force unloading Youtube under processes, GPU was using around 1 GB. There was literally nothing else I could unload that would stop this.

    Again I loaded all tabs just to be fair…GPU is using half of that currently. I’m also questioning the reliability of about:processes to an extent, because I couldn’t actually see what was adding up to the 5 GB I was seeing in task manager.

    I also tried some advice I saw to just whitelist youtube, as it sounds like google does something regarding adblockers. But this did not seem to do anything noticable.

    edit: based on another post, trying troubleshoot mode, though i’m always uncomfortable having all site blockers (ublock now) turned off.
