 > What version of HTTPS Everywhere was this?  Is it still happening?
 I am not the original ticket reporter, but I have the same issue since
 installing HTTPS Everywhere version 2012.10.18 within the past month.  I
 am using Chrome version 22.0.1229.94 on Windows 7.  The problem started
 around the time I installed HTTPS Everywhere, and this is the only
 extension I have installed within the last 6 months (see below for a list
 of my other extensions).

 I don't know what triggers the issue, but after using Chrome for a short
 time (maybe 10-30 minutes), it uses 100% of one CPU core.

 If I close Chrome when I see the issue occur (laptop fan kicking into high
 speed is one way I notice the issue occurring), Chrome closes fine and I
 can restart Chrome and use until the problem happens again.

 If I don't close Chrome within a short time of the issue occurring, I
 can't close Chrome and must kill it with the Windows task manager.

 I am using a few other extensions:
 - AdBlock Plus 1.2
 - IETab Classic 0.9.8
 - Incredible Start Page 1.6.2
 - Keep MORE Opt Outs 1.0.0
 - Reddit Enhancement Suite 4.1.3
