Ferdium Version

7.0.1

What Operating System are you using?

Ubuntu

Operating System Version

Kubuntu 24.10

What arch are you using?

x64

Last Known Working Ferdium version

6.xxx

Expected Behavior

Before the update (I dont know which was the exact version, but it must have been 6.x.. or maybe the 7.0.0, since now I'm on 7.0.1), it runs just fine, using 1 or 2% of CPU (on a 12 core system) when not active. I have seen this other issue from half a year ago about starting and running in the background causing the high CPU utilisation, but I had those settings activated always and did not have an issue before. I've also been on Wayland the whole time, so I dont think that makes a difference. Everything stayed the same except the ferdium version.

Actual Behavior

After the update, whether I launch it at startup or manually, it takes about 50-60% CPU for half a minute, then it settles to 20% and stays there indefinitely.

Steps to reproduce

1. launch ferium (automatically or manually)
2. check CPU usage

Updating to the latest nightly with Electron 35 did not fix the issue, unfortunately:

Version: 7.1.0-nightly.6 Server: No Server Electron: 35.2.1 Chrome: 134.0.6998.205 Node.js: 22.14.0 Platform: Linux 6.11 Arch: x64 Build date: Sun Apr 27 2025 03:12:12 GMT+0200 (Central European Summer Time) Git SHA: fa9501a1 Git branch: nightly

Downgrade to 7.0.0 did, though:

Version: 7.0.0 Server: No Server Electron: 33.2.0 Chrome: 130.0.6723.118 Node.js: 20.18.0 Platform: Linux 6.11 Arch: x64 Build date: Sun Nov 10 2024 03:22:25 GMT+0100 (Central European Standard Time) Git SHA: e6249427 Git branch: release

Ever since I bumped to the latest 7.1.0 this was resolved for me at least 🤷‍♂ not sure if it was some regression introduced in the previous 7.0.x version

The release notes for 7.1.0 do not mention any fixes for CPU so not sure what could've caused that.

I downgraded to 7.0.0 and the issue was gone - on your recommendation I upgraded to 7.1.0 now, and the issue is back 😂😂

High cpu usage in windows 11 too. Downgrading back to 7.0.0 fixing the issue.

I'm seeing a similar issue with Fedora 41. 7.0.x was fine, upgrading to 7.1 causes 100% CPU usage after several minutes. Also sometimes I'll see two ferdium icons in the status bar, and even quitting Ferdium from the menu doesn't work, I have to kill it from the command line.

Ditto for me. For me this was specific to the Messenger recipe and only on Windows, but it's no longer occurring in 7.1.0.
