That said, it is not without limitations. I’ve used about half a dozen desktop RSS readers and a couple of online services, but none have been as smooth and easy to use as Google Reader. This works in IE7 and Firefox, and likely other browsers as well. This is a preview to add it permanently, hit the large “Subscribe” button near the top right-hand corner of the page. A new button will be created whenever you are on a site you’d like to subscribe to, click the button and Google will look for the RSS feed and open it in Reader. There you will find the “subscribe” bookmarklet - right-click and drag the link into your browser’s toolbar. In Google Reader, go to “Settings” and then the “Goodies” tab. Te “Add to Google” button adds the feed directly to Reader. If the webmaster loves you, they’ll have put a big “Add to Google” button on their page, usually somewhere near the inscrutable orange box that indicates an RSS feed. This works the same as using auto-detection. Click the link to the RSS feed, however it is indicated on the page.(You can also change the default action in Firefox’s options: Tools > Options, select the “Feeds” tab, check “Subscribe to the feed using”, and choose “Google Reader”.) Unfortunately, IE7 doesn’t work the same way it will open the feed in a nicely formatted page but does not give you the option to add to Google Reader. You can make Google your default reader by checking the box marker “Always use Google to subscribe to feeds” then clicking RSS feeds will open them directly in GR. Select Google Reader and hit “Subscribe Now”. The next page will have a drop-down menu at the top giving you several options to subscribe to the feed you’re viewing. Click the RSS symbol in Firefox’s address bar and select “Add as live bookmark”. If you know the address for a site’s RSS feed, you can enter it into GR yourself by clicking “Add subscription” on the left-hand side of the page and typing or pasting it in directly. So I will see how I go without it, when I can.⌄ Scroll down to continue reading article ⌄ Writing this response stuffed up all the formatting. The question is - how does disabling Javascript affect your browsing? Well, some mouse-click menus dont work, but mostly it is OK, Gmail defaults to something without Javascript and it is OK. The CPU would immediately drop from 100% to normal levels. However, the following worked: Firefox > Edit > Preferences > Content, unclick the 'Enable JavaScript'. I first tried to switch off Flash, because I thought this was the problem, but it made no difference:įirefox > Edit > Preferences > Main > Manage Add-ons > Plugins, disable shockwave flash. The CPU would be on 100% usage almost all the time. Then I opened this example of a site which is a problem in a window next to the system monitor: Pick the 'resources' tag, then it shows an ongoing graph of yor CPU usage System > administration > system monitor,

I have eventually proven it is JAVASCRIPT for me, not Flash.įirst, open the system monitor to see how your PC is being over-worked: I'm using Ubuntu since Dapper Drake and slowly thinking of migrating to something else for the first time in 3 1/2 years.

(I use the default drivers and have an ATI HD3450 card, no effects on) thought Karmic would solve this issue :( Ubuntu 8.10 was fine.įlash is also a disaster, but it seems to be the case for everyone. This is ridiculous and very frustrating since I have this problem from Jaunty. I disabled all Flash from loading with the Firefox FlashBlock add-on but I realized that Javascript caused problems too !!įor example, this Javascript clock uses 50% of my cpu. Causes my CPU to jump up and over 60%, sometimes even 100%.Įxactly the same problem here. I also have issues with flash sites, makes scrolling even worse.Īs far as flash is concerned I think it's due to flash itself. Scrolling intense javascript based sites seems to cause the problem. PS: It is not shockwave flash, it is Javascript, see my following entry If I switch the browser window to another tab/site, (this site is still in a tab, but not visible), the CPU drops to 20% as normal If I check with my system monitor while this site's tab is open, I get 100% CPU usage all the time. It was not as bad with 9.04.Īt this moment there are 3 adobe files (.swf) for this site. It says 'No propriety drivers are in use on this system'Īnyway, This problem is not about hardware. When I do: System > Administration > Hardware Drivers, Using 'System Monitor', I also find that my CPU regularly goes to 100%, and all I am using is firefox. It seems like it has trouble assembling the page, and it would not let you do anything till it is finished. Long Pages with a complex layout has jerky scrolling, and when you use the 'go back' key, I also have this problem since I have upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10
