Web app on Firefox for Linux consumes a lot of CPU

[ssnover 0]

I am using the web app on Firefox 103 on Ubuntu 22.04.

I was editing a note and left the web page open while I was checking something in my notebook when I noticed that my CPU fan had kicked on high. I opened the Firefox Task Manager and noticed the Evernote tab was sitting stably at 110% usage of a core. In the developer tools I took a performance snapshot and it looks like the runtime garbage collector was running for long periods despite the page just sitting with no interaction from the user.

I couldn't debug any more than this, but this much CPU usage from a WYSIWYG editor on a webpage seems pretty unacceptable. Happy to take a performance capture or something if you don't have this particular environment available or can't recreate it.

Nobody here but other users.

Contact EN support.

P.S. Happy it did never happen to me when I use the Web Client on my Raspberry Pi. Sound if it would go and use 13 of my 4 tiny punny ARM cores …

Hi.   To quote Evernote - 

Evernote for Linux is currently in private beta. To get early access to Evernote features and test new functionality, learn how to join the Early Access Program at evernote.com/earlyaccess 

- I'm one of the current testers and ironically I've used Evernote Web (in Chrome) from time to time because the installed app uses a lot of resources.

If you can get access to EN Linux I'd recommend you try that - otherwise as above - contact Support.

Yeah, the Linux client is beta.

But as I understand the post we are here talking about the web client running inside of a Firefox browser. Nothing beta about it.
