while browsing it often hangs my browser and eats cpu then i can notice that it's counting ads in it's toolbar icon and the number is above thousands. while this happens, every time i have to close my browser. why this happens? any solution please?

   This is a bug in the webpage which constantly loads ads from the server if
   it can't load it. This can work around some adblockers, but can also happen
   if the ad server is down. This is a problem with the webpage, not AdBlock.

   It seems to be happening primarily on YouTube right now.

   This comment was split into a new discussion: YouTube videos stalling

   I'm having this problem as well.

   1st day AdBlock seemed to be doin ok with my old computer as it's slow as it is.
   Then yesterday and especially today it's making Youtube slow to the point that I can't even watch videos anymore. It will just sit there and not load the video, just sit like it's paused.
   I use Chrome and when I click on the right AdBlock symbol up top it tells me right now -
   Blocked ads:
   5 on this page
   5818 in total

   what do i do? Help please.
   I'm losin my mind!

   SameThing: YouTube shouldn't have this bug, as they are owned by Google, who have brilliant coders, who wouldn't do this.

   Adeeb: I'm closing this discussion now.
