ShopBack Extension on Chrome Causing YouTube Pages to Load Slow

I found YouTube pages loading slow from a couple of days ago on Chrome (Windows)

I think I have isolated the issue to the Shopback extension. When I disable the extension they load normally.

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Yes, I've been facing this issue, but didn't realise that it was the Shopback extension causing it until this post.
    I just disabled it, and now I no longer face the issue with YouTube, so thanks OP.

    Yes I had the same issue, thanks for the heads up OP - tried a few things but didn't really see much improvement. Disabled now and much better!

    Yes. My Firefox has been asking me to stop ShopBack addon.

    Yes, the ShopBack Extension uses a recursive algorithm to continuously search through all the Amazon categories until it finds one to reject your cashback.

    • Not sure I understand. What Amazon categories could it possibly find on YouTube?

  • Thought it was just me. Youtube (and Chrome) has been sluggish for me over the past few days.

  • Was there a recent update?

  • Or minus Optus and Medibank users owe money back.

    I'm trying to sell my medical records and a old large white pages book from 2001 for $10 on Ebay that has my phone number and address.
    Is anyone interested or should I post on TOR

  • Thought I broke something, had this issue going on for the past few days. Thanks OP!

  • Oh I had this problem and did a clean and reset with chome and it disables all extensions, I did not realize it was Shopback :o

  • Thanks for sharing, disabling has also fixed mine too.

  • Yep, was completely destroying youtube and linkedin

    Definitely Shopback. Disabled it and Edge is back to full speed on all my machines.
