Get Realtime Feedback with the Facebook Pixel Helper Chrome Extension

impossible to work with. pixel shows up and disappears.... events are not recorded properly, I do not trust this plugin anymore. The only question I have is... WHYYYYYYYY?!?!!?!? It was working JUST FINE!!! So frustrating!!!

Updated Meta Pixel Helper is not working properly

Congratulations, you've turned my MacBook into a hand warmer. Version 4.0.4 has a runaway service worker that spins at 70%+ CPU non-stop — even with nothing open. Energy impact hit 2,055. Battery went from a full day to 3 hours. Laptop ran hot for 2 weeks before I figured out it was THIS. Fix: remove extension. MacBook immediately stopped trying to heat my room. It's been 17 days since the broken update. 4 million users affected. Zero response from Meta. Truly impressive that a trillion-dollar company's debugging tool is itself the bug. 1 star because the Chrome Web Store won't let me file a lawsuit instead.

Reporting the same issue as other people, I've looked for over 3 days to find out it was this extension that caused my hot laptop and high battery drain!

This is the cause of high CPU usage in Chrome, which makes your computer overheat. You'll want to uninstall this extension.

This application is extremely poorly optimized. I strongly do not recommend using it. As soon as it runs, it immediately causes a significant CPU load and slows down the browser. A tool that is supposed to help developers should not negatively affect system performance like this. Overall, a very disappointing and unreliable extension.

This is a trillion dollar company and they make an app that took approximately 70% of my CPU usage, made my computer overheat for days and took me 1 hour of research to find the problem. Very bad job Meta, why update the previous Chrome extension app that worked well to introduce a product that 1) asks you to login (unnecessary, does not push towards transparency and openness of the internet, annoying) and 2) is not even properly troubleshooted to avoid damaging your user's hardware. giving it 1 star because I can't give 0 I honestly feel the users affected by this should get compensation from the damage caused to our devices.

Mid March 2026 version makes the device use a lot of CPU and thus increasing temperatures and shorten battery life. Reported on both macOS and Windows. Just by disabling the extension, the temperatures start to drop and the fans slow down.

Very high cpu in mac. using too much power draw.

It's confirmed to use a vast amount of CPU cycles. Avoid at all costs

Genial
