G+ now has completely stopped working: “Unusual traffic from your computer network” – Search Help
Posted by jpluimers on 2015/02/21
This is getting ridiculous: G+ now completely stopped working. No CAPTCHA every couple of seconds after my laptop wakes up, but the screenshot below.
The “Unusual traffic from your computer network” – Search Help isn’t helping much either.
My computer isn’t sending automated queries. The Google related tabs (some 50+) in Chrome are, as they frantically try to refresh themselves when my laptop wakes up.
This is a Google and Chrome design decision:
- each tab runs in a separate process
- each tab keeps being active even when not visible
- Google chooses to have each Google related tab to talk to Google Plus
It’s not my choice that this overloads the G+ system, so don’t bug me with that!
