Suddenly & without any warning at all, my cpu goes up to 24 to 30% when on Foxnews. Here's the site because I doubt anyone has ever been there before.

I've disabled Flash to no avail. Is this something that would be the fault on the Fox site because no other site is giving me this thrill.

I also saw lots of spiking on all 3-W10 browsers (Edge, Chrome, IE11) on the fox news site. I then checked cnn.com which is traditionally the highest activity video and photo media site page; it too spikes on all 3 browsers up to 99% CPU usage; up from 8% running idle. I suspect that the fox news site which appears to have 5-8 pages of photos, mixed text links, streaming media player insets, and lots of stuff appears to be very similar to cnn's page which traditionally was the browser benchmark for heavy content loading and loading time tests. I don't think it's too unusual, and I don't think it's just your computer.

Running all 3 browsers concurrently on the fox news site, my CPU usage goes from 11% - 99%.

chrome will be autoloading all the vids ready to watch, whereas other browser [like Firefox] don't default to autoload

Fascinating! I'm using Edge, so does that do the same as Chrome since Edge is Chromium based?

Strange but after so many years, Foxnews has something in their settings that has Edge to spin up the fans. Chrome, which I used to have, ran into the same problem.
