UPDATE: FIX HAS BEEN FOUND THAT NEGATES THE NEED TO CONSTANTLY RE-BLOCK DA-CHAT-WORKER WHEN IT UPDATES!!! Please read through the step-by-step and block the new line of code as necessary!


Okay, so I haven't seen a proper full step-by-step for this anywhere but I HAVE seen lots of info titbits and fellow dA users complaining about the immense amount of overheating that deviantArt enacts on their poor computers. So I am throwing this journal together quickly to help anyone else prevent dA from breaking their computers, bc the staff sure don't seem concerned with making their site functional for you!


Please note before we start that this fix will disable the 'chat' feature of the website (it is the source of the problem, so it's one or the other here unfortunately)


TL;DR VERSION FOR ANYONE WHO ALREADY KNOWS HOW TO USE uBLOCK ORIGIN:

Block this script - https://static.parastorage.com/services/da-chat-worker/*.*.*/app.bundle.min.js


---


STEP 1:

Download uBlock Origin. It's an extension for your browser (Chrome and Firefox versions exist that I know of, not sure about others!) Google it!


STEP 2:

Right click the extension and click options.

uBlock001

In options, navigate to the 'My Filters' tab.


STEP 3:

In 'My filters', copy paste the following line of code:

||static.parastorage.com/services/da-chat-worker/*.*.*/app.bundle.min.js$script,domain=www.deviantart.com

So that it looks like this:

uBlock004

Then click 'Apply Changes'!

(This line of code works for all subsequent versions of da-chat-worker so you won't need to keep updating it. This fix was found by Chipster-roo, explained in their comment here - https://www.deviantart.com/comments/1/894576198/4947090119)


STEP 4:

You're all done! Now when you hover over 'Chat', you should see this (if you did everything corrently!)

uBlock003

The evil is defeated! : D

Yes, turns out dA chat is behind the process-power-stealing problems. I can't claim to understand any of the science behind it but if anyone knows feel free to drop an explanation in the comments. Since blocking the javascript that enables the chat, me and a number of friends have reported their computers cooling right down and not always chugging the moment more than one dA tab is open. So I hope it works for you too!!!


Unfortunately I can't offer much problem solving as I don't understand much about how it works, I just managed to eventually make it work xD But I figured I should share the steps I went through in case it helps others, since there's no guide online for it already for babies like me who don't understand how uBlock works.


Best of luck everyone! I hope wrestling with the journal editor was worth it for a few of you x.x

EDIT: GMAIL BUG!

I've been informed by a friend that for some people this block creates an error in gmail where mail sometimes won't show up or load! If you're having this issue, hopefully this screenshot should prove useful:

And looking for offers! ^w^ I dunno if I'll get any, but I figured I may as well try.

I will look at any DOM Griffians (including semi-mains)!!!
I will also look at SEC Griffians though I am not quite as interested.
Be sure to name your price if you offer, especially for SECs. I might not accept, though, so please don't be offended.
You can comment here or note me to offer.

I will also consider Pillowing and Kebanzu designs, as well as Griffian items, or realworld currency exchange (at a rate of 2GC = $1)


Thank you for all your offers! 8w8

CLOSED #5 Event The Great Dragon MigrationYour Griffians may have noticed some...changes, lately. 
The Void Well is bubbling and boiling, emitting a strange and eerie light. On top of all of this, Fabian's brother Ficus has come into town again, and with his arrival comes an odd and mysterious tale...
    Each year, during the time referred to as September on Earth, the Dragons of Griffia begin to gather. In what is known as the Great Migration, all the dragons begin their trek to the distant mountain peaks and obelisks to share their power with the “Great Protector.” It is said that, during the time of the Great Griffian War, this Migration was the sole event ever to pause the fighting as all eyes looked to the majesty of the dragons.
    This event is celebrated to this day! All Griffians come together to observe the 15-day-long parade of Titans. Griffians commemorate the occasion by dressing up, gathering for feasts, and bonding with other
