Midnight Lizard by Pavel Agarkov

Rated 1 out of 5
by Firefox user 14247977, 6 years agoInstalled it last evening, and it worked well except for the occasional popup saying that it was slowing down my browser. I turned it off this afternoon, and tonight I reactivated it. Immediately my whole browser freezes, and then even windows hangs and it becomes completely unresponsive. Not even CTRL+ALT+DEL worked, and I let it chug for 5 to 10 minutes. Had to kill the power.
Never had a browser add-on crash my whole computer, so unfortunately I have to give this 1/5 stars. If it had only had the few but noticeable slowdowns it would've been a 3½ / 5, and if no slow-down warnings at all, 5/5.

Developer response
posted 6 years agoThe most resource intensive is initial page processing. After that Midnight Lizard does not consume resources if page is static. When you open pages one by one in most cases it is not that difficult for Midnight Lizard to process them. But when you already have a lot of opened tabs/windows and then you turn Midnight Lizard on - it starts processing all of them at the same time. Some browsers take care of this problem better than others. And I will try to fix it as well.
With notification about slowing down you can fight with Midnight Lizard's simplified mode. In the next release I will try to optimize default auto mode or make simplified a default one.
