TIMETOWATCH for 30

Since the latest Google Chrome update it basically became impossible to use any of their sites. Chrome blows up to very high CPU RAM usage and freezes and is crashing. task manager to kill Chrome is the only way. Same happens with Edge so something on their website seems to bloat up data. 

Up until last week I could have it running in a window on its own in a specific Chrome Profile and could use my main profile without issue, even having 20 tabs open was no issue. Now 2 tabs and it all crashes. 

Also, seems like the number of adds has gone down.

Anyone else experiencing issues?

I had trouble at the beginning of the week with no points on one day so just shut it down as tried several different sites and nothing worked. The week before had a couple of days where I "reached my viewing limit" and only got 5 points one day, so again just shut it down.

 I use the opera browser for Hideout and then work in chrome with loads of tabs open.  Currently watching puppybear.tv - only got about 250 points today but only had it running for a couple of hours.

In my case it has literally been impossible, as soon as I open any of their sites Chrome is crashing after 5 min as CPU usage goes to 35% for Chrome alone and RAM goes up. I think their player has an issue. Same experience with Edge. 

Tried on a second laptop and same problem. Now with opera and that seems to work but need to keep an eye on it.

Hideout is running fine for me on Chrome (although I have to close it down, clear cache and cookies and re-open it after redeeming  points, or it doesn't increment after that), but a couple of days ago Loot suddenly stopped crediting me with anything - not even the 30 points one used to accumulate per day.  This is particularly annoying because I am just one day's worth of points away from being able to redeem to Swagbucks for 50SB, to complete the final square in the current Swago for 300SB rather than 80SB!

Hideout's doing well here too in Firefox. Still some issues though, such as it sometimes jumping back to the start of the video and then it seems to stop crediting, so I delete cookies and clear the cache.

And yes, Loot's stopped crediting anything here as well. Disappointing enough with no ads lately but of course there's no point running it if it's not going to give any points at all - unless you really want to see again how Lainey from SimplyBakings makes ghost cupcakes.

Anyway, I've written to Loot so will see what they say.

I too wrote to Loot support, who replied immediately but uselessly.

To earn points, you must watch a full video + an ad. If you do not see an ad during a video, no points will be added to your account. If you are not seeing any ads, there may not be any available for you at the moment. We recommend trying a different browser or device if possible.

This did not address the missing time-related points at all.  I replied, but unsurprisingly they have ignored that.  It is such a nuisance;  I needed only one hour's worth of time-related points to be able to redeem it for 50SB to finish my Swago;  now I shall probably have to waste my KeepRewarding points on that instead.  I even tried one of the quizzes on Lootably which should have paid 98 points;  I scored 100% but there is no sign of any points in the Loot account.  But I've got until Monday;  and sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.  As they say.

I have found with Loot.tv the page needs to be "on top" so if you're doing something else and it's underneath other tabs it won't work.  Having said that, today and the last few days it has been running on it's own and nothing has credited.
