I selected easy and still got fed so many processes I cant possibly satisfy them all for more than a minute. What am I doing wrong?

Same. If easy is that stressful, what happens on higher levels?

I think easy makes you forget about memory-swap side of the game. Still feels unfairly hard tho

Remove any processes with an hourglass from the queue, and frequently click the I/O Events button to clear out the hourglasses.
I think I was already doing that, yet by the time 4 processes in processor turn green, 10 processes in queue turns red? Also even in the first 10 seconds I was already clicking like mad, wasnt really "easy" mode.

Maybe one of my extensions designed to skip "wait 10 sec to skip this" is messing up the timings of the game?

Might be related to time accounting differences between browsers also... are you using firefox?

Edge (sorry)
Fine for me on edge. Maybe don't wait for processes to go totally green? If something is dark red/frozen it needs to be on the CPU immediately, regardless of what else is there.
I saw the same with no extensions. My only hope was to do custom mode and give myself more cpus and lower I/O probability.

Edit: Also, keyboard shortcuts would be really, really nice.

Edit2: Also, the "menu" button in the top right isn't clickable (unless I resize) because the "Follow drfreckles" and "add to collection" buttons overlay it.

Could be the extension. Though the logic seems to be all in wasm, not sure how the extension would modify it.
