Stop DDOSing ourselves
At the moment when you are on merge request a request gets sent to ci_status
to get the current CI status & then send a browser notification if something changes. Its great, however with a lot of tabs open we are sending a lot of different requests that is destroying the backend.
We should probably look at increasing the interval if the tab isn't active or maybe another way to somehow optimize these calls from the frontend.
