in 1Password in the Browser

Hi @eschramm, did you solve the memory leak?
https://1password.community/discussion/144424/memory-leak-1pw-for-safari
I see the exact same behavior when I login to my accounting application.
Disabling just that website is not enough. I have to disable 1Password extension globally to be able to use my accounting software.

1Password Version: 8.10.30
Extension Version: 2.22.1
OS Version: MacOS 14.4.1
Browser: Safari

    No, sadly it still exists. And it also spins processor cycles - we use 1PW as a company and others have had fans spin up when using the affected site. If it's any help, one of our devs noticed this when looking at it closely in Chrome:

    You get a bunch of events and function calls from chrome-extension://aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa/inline/injected/webauthn-listeners.js and such. From our end it looks like what happens is we end up in a eventListener we set up
    window.addEventListener("message" ...
    and that spins the CPU a ton

    So my current solution is to use Firefox for this one site without 1PW plugin, because I was having Chrome issues on my Mac (apparently an issue with Xcode - iOS development). Then I use 1PW plugin in Safari and avoid the problematic site. But honestly, 1PW in Safari has been so flakey lately if you work on a computer that goes to sleep. I pretty much have to cycle Safari anytime I come back to the computer after a lock/sleep cycle.

    So for the last week or so, I've been running an update of 1Password for Safari and the problem appears fixed! Even better, it looks like it's been redesigned such that the connection to the 1Password app is much more solid. I'm so happy that I can now use Safari for all my stuff and not to have to restart it every time I return from a lock/sleep session. Thanks, AgileBits!
