so it turns out one reason why kissanime’s been sucking ass lately in terms of load times is cause rapidvideo literally uses your browser to mine cryptocurrency???

And that’s just like, one of the hundreds/thousands of other sketchy things the site has going on in the background by just sitting on any of its web pages without an adblocker/scriptblocker

for those like me who don’t understand what this means my IT nerd partner explained it in dummyhead terms:    Basically they arent taking YOUR shit they’re borrowing your computers horsepower and brains it should be spending on watching the video and instead dedicating half of that horsepower and brains towards their own servers.  so if you need 5 pwr to make the video go the website is taking 3 pwr and making it go towards their nefarious goals and giving you only 2 pwr to watch videos.   Kind of like stealing electricity.   People should be using U-block as its far safer than addblock these days because websites can have a lot scarier stuff than this on them, at least its just using you to mine other people vs mining your own computer
