2019-01-02 Александр Корнышев 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.

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

R K		 Of ALL the Chrome extensions out there to restore backspace functionality, this is the only one I found with the ability to work around unwanted "go back" behavior occurring in Flash applets. You can use the "Exclude list" feature to blacklist those websites from the "backspace to go back" behavior.
