Addons "Cashback Web Monitor"

Ok, first I really want to Thank the original poster and other members of this thread who just saved me from insanity. An UI I'm developing makes heavy use of both the Tradingview chart embedded module and the websockets, which were mentioned above as the "cashback monitor" triggers. I noticed that the UI started to freeze often lately and spent a couple of days profiling memory usage left and right until I spotted that satanic beast in the Task Manager (apparently, the only place in the browser where technically inclined users may accidentally notice it). Now, my UI consumes quite a bit of resources because of some heavy calculations, but this thingy beats it in just few minutes:

And yeah, even after you kill it, it keeps rising from the hell as a pesting zombie. What a marvellous decision to improve your users experience, Opera!

@curiouscroc Found a solution, installed the Vivaldi browser, how ironic!

Same issue, seems to be related to using trading platforms like "binance" that use "tradingView" live graphs.

Had no issue with this a week ago.

I'll be switching to another browser in the mean time.

Hopefully Opera can fix this quick enough before I settle into a new browser.

74.0.3911.218 has solved the issue. Cashback Web Monitor extension is not even running anymore.
Vivaldi is good browser but UI lags so much compared to Opera to the point I can't stand it

@winblood The switch is not an option because of the devtools. I love Opera as a Chrome clone without the Big G attentive "addons" so just downgraded back to 73.0.3856.344 for now.

@curiouscroc Well now Opera is profiling you with their internal plugins that you cannot disable. Big G attentive behavior much.

@winblood Internal extensions have been there since a long time.

@curiouscroc Vivaldi is chromium based as well, same devtools.

@andrew84 The fact that it was shadily activated is questionable practice. It could be a bug indeed, but seriously, do people need such services for shopping? Looks like Opera is being capitalized, and I don't like/trust it.

@winblood When wasn't Opera capitalized?
All browsers are.

@winblood Usually they don't run if the feature they implement isn't turned on. Except for the ones that are a main part of the browser.

@leocg Maybe it's time we grow a pair and say no and reclaim our digital privacy or what is left of it. AFAIK Firefox is Open Sourced.

@winblood Being open source means nothing.

@leocg lol, i trust 100% more open sourced software than black box software. Practices like this is why open source exists.

@winblood It's unclear if the bug (memory leak) itself was fixed. They fixed the flag's affect (disabled by default) in O74.

DNA-91976 Cashback Web Monitor active even with flag disabled

But O75 (Beta) and O76 (Dev) don't have the flag already and it seems that cashback monitor is enabled by default there. I didn't find any toggle in Settings to switch it off. So it is possible that when Beta will be promoted to Stable the issue can return if opera won't take any measures earlier (fix it or return the flag)
