I currently have 72 tabs open. Yes, I am a tab addict and I need to go through and close/bookmark many of those tabs (and install a tab limiting extension). However, only a few of those a HN tabs. Many of them are stories linked to by HN. I have the same exact problem as the OP. I'm running Chromium 9.0.567.0 on Ubuntu 10.04 and a couple of days ago I was getting the same error page. I wondered why I was getting this error. I tried clearing the cookies thinking there was something wrong with my login cookie and using different browsers, but nothing worked. The only thing that made sense was that my IP was banned, which confused me seeing as I didn't think I had done anything worthy of being IP banned. Luckily, I saw this post (on a different IP address) and I'm certainly going to use a less bleeding edge version of Chromium from now on. p.s. If you see this PG, can you please unban my IP? I promise to use a browser that won't bombard HN with requests, and to use less tabs :) Edit: For the record, I only had 3 HN tabs open. For people wondering how 3 tabs could trigger a flood of requests, check out this reply to PG http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1872177 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1872177

So you work for Mozilla but have dozens of tabs open in chromium? I'm interested as to why this is the case. I've found Chrome to simply be a nicer browser. It does everything I want, and nothing I don't. I switched from FF about a year ago, and haven't looked back. I can even deal with all of the flash problems with a copy of FF that I open should I need it. What's your rationale for being such a heavy chrome user? Is it market research, or personal preference?

  Check the usernames again. I am not sayrer, but he had an insightful comment worth linking to. Personally, I do prefer Chrome/Chromium, even though it uses more ram and cpu than firefox 3+.
