Opening this page caused my RAM usage of Chrome to skyrocket. Amount of processes doubled.

When looking at Chrome task manager (Windows shortcut Shift+Esc) list, sub-frames popped up I didn't recognize such as:

https://adnxs.com/ https://adsrvr.org/ https://btloader.com/ https://doubleclick.net/ https://gumgum.com/ https://openx.net/ https://smartadserver.com/

And many more. Each taking up RAM.

In incognito mode / without extensions.

Can anyone enlighten me, what's happening?

The site seems to use gradio (which from what I've experienced in the past is quite slow).

All those domains can be avoided just using an ad blocker, I suggest ublock origin.

I tried ublock, seems to work, only btloader is still shown. I think the previous adblocker I had still loaded them in, just hiding them visually.

You don’t recognize double click?

You aren’t running a blocker?

You know how to get this information while answering yes to the above two questions?

Weird.

this is why you use Firefox+ublock origin!
