There is this thing about Twitter I have been observing for about two weeks.

The event
Each time I open either the app on my phone (Blacberry Q10) or on the laptop (Firefox on Ubuntu), after about 20 minutes, my phone will begin to freeze kind of, and the phone will become very sluggish in executing functions.

Also, on the PC, once the Twitter website is left opened for a while, the system fan (my PC is running on Intel Calpella platform) will increase it's speed and my quiet PC will start making noise.

I am of the opinion that the event is due to the fact that Twitter constantly updates it's news feed but then, Facebook and some other social platforms do same without baking someone's phone or frying somebody's PC.

Also, if Mozilla could behave in such a manner, Chrome wouldn't be an alternative as the resource dependency is greater.

Possible solution
I haven't tried it out yet but, i'll suggest opera browser as an alternative on PC and mobile users may try it out on their mobile browsers (update is on-demand basis, so it should help).

If you're experiencing such and have found a way around it, kindly post your recommended solution in the comments section.
