Bug ID: 179652
Summary: Browsers that use WebkitGTK use a lot of CPU resources
while a Facebook tab is open.
Product: WebKit
Version: Other
Hardware: PC
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: Normal
Priority: P2
Component: WebKit Gtk
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

I've noticed that while using GNOME Web that whenever I have a Facebook tab open, the Webkit process takes up a lot of CPU time and the fan on my laptop spins up. This doesn't happen on Firefox or Chromium.
I have no idea what causes this. Could be that Facebook is just loading a ton of resources and Firefox and Chrome have some sort of rate limit to keep your laptop from taking off and flying around the room?
Is there a way that WebkitGTK can fix it on that end? I doubt that Facebook is ever going to be nice and quit bloating their website, which currently swells up tabs on browsers with Facebook loaded to something like 400-500 MB of RAM or more.
