I thought about your comment re: video and I did some more poking around online since I was hoping to avoid having to do a fresh install. I tried updating my video codecs and now Netflix/Hulu works! Hooray! >> JavaScript coin miners have gotten so bad that I can't run certain sites without ad-blockers anymore Whoa, is that the reason why some websites are eating a ton of memory?? Is this common? >> I generally run uBlock Origin + NoScript on every page and manually enable temporary scripts on pages I trust. Thank you for the recommendations, I'll check those out.

Yeah, it's important to pull updates regularly :) In general many of the bugs you'll come across will end up being fixed sooner or later, so it's worth checking regularly. > Whoa, is that the reason why some websites are eating a ton of memory?? Is this common? That and just the poor use of JS. Most websites really don't need JS. I use mbasic.facebook.com instead of facebook.com as it'll run without JS, plus you have to manually refresh to get any kind of notification.
