High CPU usage

Open Victor239 opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

Since the latest update I've noticed high CPU usage at times which goes away when I disable this extension. Is there a way to view CPU usage per extension to more closely monitor the usage?

"Shift + Esc" while in the broswer is the shortcut you are searching for.

It only shows all extensions, not per extension unfortunately.

@Victor239

Which browser are you using? Based on the "last update," I’m guessing it might be Google Chrome. If so, you can access the Task Manager by going to More Tools > Task Manager. It shows CPU and memory usage per extension (per service worker).

I haven’t noticed any issues on macOS personally, but let me know what you're experiencing!

Or for Firefox — about:processes. And then click on the gauge:

Happens to me too when it can't connect to the AW server. I have sync on, so it enabled this extension on another browser on another computer, one that can't access the AW instance, and the CPU and RAM just got worse and worse the longer the browser was on.
