    Creative Cloud Desktop App Slows All Browsers

      True for both Chrome and Safari on a Mac, one running Mavericks and one running Lion. When Creative Cloud is active in the menu bar, the browsers slow down so much I can't even type an address in the menu bar without minutes of lag. Not seconds, MINUTES.

       

      I always have a browser open, and I want to be able to use Typekit fonts on my desktop through Creative Cloud - but now I can't do both. This has serious consequences for my work flow.

       

      I've tested this thoroughly, and it comes down to one thing: I can run a browser, OR I can run Creative Cloud Desktop. I can't run both. Please fix this, Adobe!!!

       

      UPDATE:

       

      The only way to get my system back to normal was to (yet again) uninstall the Creative Cloud Desktop app, run the cleaner, and re-install it. Simply deactivating the Typekit fonts still left me with a laggy, hanging, slow CC app. So - the problem is either Typekit or the CC app, or a combination of the two. What a freaking pain. This stuff is supposed to just work.
