To give more info on when it happened:
I was watching a video on espncricinfo.com website. While making a new tab it happened. After closing this website the counter stopped by itself. It was running crazy until that time.

Win 10 Version 0.57.2 Chromium: 70.0.3538.67 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)

Thanks

Just found this out. The counter runs crazily when one of the opened tab has this page. www.espncricinfo.com

Please check whether this is related to specific pages like this. Just now noticed this on my laptop.

“Not sure I’m seeing it. Its definitely increased but by a reasonable/expected amount…” is what I was starting to say before I took a second look at the new tab page. Hoooooly momma! At least its fun to watch!
