yesterday I noticed that my IO and Disk usage is at a constant 0.5-1MB/s, task manager claimed it was chrome related

I had like 10 tabs open on chrome and had it minimized

cpu activity on the whole chrome tree was under 1% so it wasn't mining or something

I started closing tabs 1 by 1 and when I closed the wowhead tab, the disk usage stopped

anyone else has this issue?
anyone else can replicate this issue?
is this malicious?

win7 and chrome are on ssd

Apparently from what I read wowhead went full on retard with ads and other shit.

Maybe best bet is to use adblocker with ScriptSafe extension to block all that.

You are right, its cyberfox, the storage.js..
Aaaaand you are right. i tested again, with all background stuff OFF..

and there we go..(even with umatrix and ublock, DOM Storage Disabled, Cookies BLocked and DB indexer OFF)



Shhhiiiiiiat, what is that?

i did allow scripts on that site or it wouldnt look right.. so...

edit:
Storage.js (the one that was recently used) locates in the Ublock folder inside profiles of firefox. its the only one that was used.
its 14mb. ??
EDIT: well on my other browser profiles the storage.js of ublock is only 17kb..

something is fishy...

im not shure what happens.. was that file before i visited the site also this big?



anyway, if i DISABLE java script on the site, its fine..

i dont know what to look for. obviously i should look for JS scripts.. So i filtered the Ublock LOG.

To be honest, i do not see anything strange..BUT i also do not know what to look for..

I opened it with chrome and now my nvme drive is spiking, closed the page and it went back to normal. Did the same thing in firefox and the drive remained quiet.

edit:
I'm using microblock in both browsers.

edit2:
Did the same thing again to see if it was just a fluke and yeah, my drive remained at normal this time around. Opened it in chrome again.

edit3:
I'm on W10 btw.

i fixed it for me..
i traced that "storage.js" to where it was located. like mentioned before it belongs to UBlock Origin and is the container for its settings..I deleted it. plain and simple...
i had to reconfigure UBlock but the problem is totaly gone now and the file is way way smaller now..

my guess is that ublock fucked itself up when updating it wihtout itself or me knowing it was broke..

all fine now..

i thought i mentioned it..
