Can anyone tell me how to stop desktop Twitter from doing this?

Just cropped up in the last two weeks. Latest version of Google Chrome. It's driving me insane. Video clip below...

The feed just jumps around like crazy. This happens consistently on Twitter on a Macbook Pro on Google Chrome. I would prefer NOT to run another browser just for Twitter.

Here's a video clip.

Best answer: Do you have any Chrome extensions installed and enabled? What happens if you disable them?

Response by poster: Looks like you might be right. uBlock being disabled appears to have *maybe* stopped it. I didn't consider uBlock to be a problem with Twitter, and certainly not to suddenly cause it.

It looks like uBlock is identifying the soccer video tweet as an ad SLIGHTLY too late, so it ends up rendering for a bit. That's a pretty common issue in general with ad blockers, they do their best but the websites make it hard on purpose. You can disable uBlock just for twitter and leave it enabled for everything else

Response by poster: It was uBlock Origin that was the culprit (not uBlock), for anyone with similar problems.
