      @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.

              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.

                        @shintoplasm01 I don't have such flag here.

                          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
