User reviews

Иногда из-за приложения яндекс браузер полностью загружает одно из ядер процессора, из-за чего процессор сильно греется, а комп тормозит. Такое поведение преждевременно сожгёт вам процессор, будьте аккуратнее.

This has been working great for me up until Chrome 69. Now the extension randomly causes 100% CPU usage. Is the developer active?

Mysterious high cpu usage, possible crypto miner
