  forums.lenovo.com/topic/view/15195/5113258 another victim of unhealty JS bloat

  the "loading" spinner never goes away on Lenovo forums (but you can scroll and read stuff!)
• 00:41
  tomman
  the JS console is full of... piles and piles of vomit, yet I don't see any of the usual Chromeisms
• 00:41
  tomman
  aside of a couple of undefined/null variables
• 00:42
  tomman
  ...why webpages do need "Loading" animations?! isn't the work of the User Agent to provide those anyway?
• 00:42
  tomman
  ..no, wait, I've already commited that sin in the past, but that's because AJAX
• 00:43
  tomman
  in any case, your script dies and I'm stuck with a permanent "loading, please wait until you or your hardware die" overlay...

  and back now

  tomman: pile on top of that the whole "lazyloading" thing
• 07:54
  njsg
  why couldn't it just be designed and used as an opt-in backwards-compatible thing?
• 07:54
  njsg
  but then this is the same arena where defaults are changed in standards after they're published

  IanN_Away Linux versions have the wrong channel set: release instead of beta!

  huh, found that one of my addons (Redirector) hangs SeaMonkey at 100% CPU when I open the addon manager, but only if I go to Get Addons
• 15:20
  tomman
  no script warnings, no nada
• 15:20
  tomman
  it just hogs forever
• 15:20
  tomman
  BUT!
• 15:21
  tomman
  if I disable Redirector (from its settings is enough, no need to disable the whole extension), there is no hang
• 15:24
  tomman
  wonder what's the interaction that triggers the hang
• 15:27
  njsg
  did you check the browser console too?
• 15:27
  njsg
  (just asking, as there are two different consoles and it's possible stuff will show in one but not in the other)
• 15:49
  tomman
  well, there is a very small window between opening Get Addons and getting the hang, so will try that next
• 15:49
  tomman
  --time window
• 15:49
  tomman
  also it seems Redirector offers a "debug output" checkbox on its settings, wonder what it does...
