What is "Cashback Web Monitor" Addon? Could it be a miner? How can I disable if the extension is not visible?

@veduk My guess is it's related to Opera's new cashback program, see https://blogs.opera.com/news/2021/02/opera-dify-wallet-cashback/

@sgunhouse How to permanently disable it?
Huge memory leak coming from it (it was at 4GB memory footprint), and I don't want extensions I didn't choose.

@bulu-bulu I don't think you can disable it.

Here the memory usage is fine.

@bulu-bulu If you wish to start another thread on this topic, feel free to do so. I feel your post here is a question others will have and therefore will not delete it.

I'm also experiencing memory leak and high cpu utilization from mentioned extension since I upgraded to 74.0.3911.203. The only solution is to downgrade to previous version of Opera...

@leocg Does the flag opera://flags/#cashback not disable this extension? It's disabled by default in my version, but that could be dependent on location.

@shintoplasm01 I tried to manually disable #cashback flag (changing from Default to Disable) but it didn't disable extension unfortunately.

Same here. The default seems to be Disabled, but even after selecting it to be Disabled, it's still running.

@veduk Any fix available? Ending the task in Opera Task manager is only a temporary solution, since the "Extention: Cashback Web Monitor" keeps restarting itself.

No such flag here either. Even deleting extension folder doesn't help - Opera complains that extension are corrupted and then re-creates it.

Dear Opera devs, please allow us to disable this crap!
I have no need to have some absolutely unnecessary code running, even if it doesn't consume many resources here.

I have same problem
The process "Cashback Web Monitor" has a high CPU load
Flags "Cashback" is "Disabled", reinstalling doesn't help.
Opera version: 74.0.3911.203

Omg, maybe Opera will mine crypto next time?

Same here, High CPU usage, tried disabling using flag, didn't work. But it did lower CPU usage to ~10%. Still not acceptable
