Firefox actually went to silent updates too, I have had FF updates installed without even noticing as well.
I found you can make it playable by disabling all tracking and disabling "Show monster info from database". There is still slowdown but its managable (at least on my beast of a machine). I also disabled the record mosnter skills but I am not sure that is needed.
All scripts are contributing to it but the tracking and monster DB are the worst offenders.
Oh, you can also quickly "clear" the leak by opening a new tab with HV and closing the existing one. Thanks to chrome memory structure of "always aware" this completely eliminates everything that tab was doing.

Fuck Chrome.
Well, its 10x faster then firefox and only crashes once every few months rather then once a day like FF does.
Biggest drawback is google refusing to implement a bunch of features, most importantly among them is the bookmarks sidebar
