What is this? How can I disable it? Has a high CPU and memory load.

Version:74.0.3911.203
Update stream:Stable
System:macOS Version 11.2.2 (Build 20D80) 11.2.2 64-bit

UPD: It looks like this is a global problem. https://forums.opera.com/topic/47377/addons-cashback-web-monitor

OK, I checked again with Opera Stable and could see the memory usage for the addon increasing.

The same problem, after updating to version 74.0.3911.203, the opera constantly loads the processor by 30% also, even after closing the browser, this process remains and still loads the processor, only the end task through the task manager helps

I have been testing 76.0.3989.0 for 12 hours and there is no problem with cash back plugin.

Maybe it is a solution until they fix it.

@emanuel1788 as a temporary fix, revert to the old version by renaming the exe file names

@ilyahawkin It needs more to revert to an old build.

This thing keeps eating memory and cpu making the browser sluggish and unresponsive. please let us disable this crap

@emanuel1788 The easiest way would be to download and install an older build and block autoupdate, but you can also edit installation_status.json so that it point to the older version folder.

Hello,

I love Opera since the introduction of Workspaces and since there is no other browser that does this (not to my knowledge anyhow) I tried to end process of the Cash Back Web Monitor several times and it seems that after 3 times it doesn't start anymore (until the next opera open action )

So I did like this:

1. Open Opera

2. Press Shift +ESC (this will open Opera's Task Manager)

3. Sort Task by name (to find Cash Back Web Monitor )

4. Click Cash Back Web Monitor

5. Click End Process (which is found on the right bottom corner)

6. Let it restart again

7. Click Cash Back Web Monitor

8. Click End Process (which is found on the right bottom corner)

9. Let it restart again

10. Click Cash Back Web Monitor

11. Click End Process (which is found on the right bottom corner)

I hope this will work until the new version will fix it. I have the OPERA opened for 10 minutes now and it didn't start again.

Cheers
