Can replicate in regular Ubuntu 16.04.1 LiveCD if Unity is not running: Boot LiveCD, kill Unity and switch to minimal desktop as in: http://askubuntu.com/questions/833868/way-to-run-ubuntu-livecd-without-unity/833962#833962
Start Chromium from there and open facebook page, takes 150% cpu after page load. Looks like it needs something from Unity or it's not happy... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1631851 Title: Chromium taking 150% cpu after page load Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: - Open https://www.facebook.com/U2 - Chromium continues to take 150% cpu after page finishes loading. Running Ubuntu 14.04 Mate desktop here. This happens with latest Chromium 53.0.2785 package and earlier versions as well. I can replicate the issue in Ubuntu Mate 14.04 and 16.04 LiveCDs: Just boot, apt-get update and apt-get install chromium-browser from it. Also happens in Lubuntu 16.04 but *not* in regular 14.04 / 16.04 Ubuntu LiveCDs, so could be Gnome / Unity related.
