@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.

i havent seen 100% usage in years. that was disturbing. but as others have said the new patch seems to have fixed it. its only been a few minutes since i installed it but lets see.

@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)

My browser slows down. I switched to Opera GX and everything is fine at once

Been bugging me too, but only on my Ubuntu system. Opera (GX) hard crashed soon after taking this screenshot. I have another desktop and laptop on Windows, this isn't an issue... yet.
