Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/64.0.3282.119 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Install Adblock Plus in Chrome. 2. Leave it running overnight. 3. Come back and find a train wreck. What is the expected behavior? Since Adblock Plus is a memory hog, Chrome kills Adblock Plus when it attempts to derail your system by hogging up memory. What went wrong? Chrome does not seem to have any sort of mechanism to kill bloated processes that are hogging up memory, as in the case of the malicious but popular Adblock Plus, meaning that Adblock Plus can derail your system all it wants by hogging up memory. Did this work before? N/A Chrome version: 64.0.3282.119 Channel: stable OS Version: 6.1 (Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2) Flash Version: On a side note, please ban malicious extension cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb from the Chrome Web Store. I have actually already reported it multiple times but it has not received the required attention.

As per comment#0 this seems to be a feature request. Hence marking this as Untriaged. Could someone from Platform>Extensions team please have a look at this issue. Thanks!

Devlin: Do we do any kind of throttling for the memory consumption of an extension?

This isn't just an extension thing though - Gmail is often a memory hog as well. Even if there is already memory throttling for extensions, it is clearly not sufficient as Adblock Plus is still able to hog up memory and wreck your system. |
