FYI, I'm not a moron and know what I was witnessing. Just tried both of those sites and nothing. The plugin literally shows, "Nothing Found", but Newegg is also now showing the same and no unusual CPU usage.
I'll bet any amount of money they got caught by more than one watchful person and yanked it down. Wouldn't be surprising at all.
cap1000Who is the author of the plugin you installed , I want to make sure we picked the same
That is very possible. Thing is, I have uBlock Origin installed.. Who knows though.Possible, or, maybe, Newegg found something injected in an ad from one of their advertisers and removed it...

If W1zzard was going to do something like this, he'd make it public so that everyone would be aware.So, no one is offended/upset... I was grinning'cause I tested TPU.
OOOooo, that's interesting! It did. This just got real. Maybe the new guy is on to something after all. Plot thickens..A youtube link on a reply is enough to trigger the addon, such as in this case:

EDIT; although it still wouldn't explain the CPU usage witnessed.. I think 95Viper may have been on to something.

Given the somewhat iffy activities Newegg has been involved in, it would not be surprising at all to find out they were testing something new to see if anyone would notice.

I fully agree man. I started going to Amazon a few months back. They charge taxes but at least they were up front about it. If I know going in thats the case I dont mind. It was the retro tax BS Newegg pulled. Sadly its an end of an era for me. No more Newegg and I took my kids to the closing of the Toys R Us in my area. Sad days.I also get a mining warning on chrome at newegg.. was going to tell the customer support but I was 75th in line for the chat and they provided no email.
Shame, I used to buy all my computer stuff there. Amazon it is.
Just some info... a PublicWWW search turns up this:

My opinion... I think it was something embedded in a third party ad/link.
