browserpass
Page load speed drop
Hello, I've recently decided to switch to the Pass from KeepassXC and chosen Browserpass as a browser integration addon. Unfortunately, I've noticed a significant performance drop when loading sites (YouTube for example) after I've imported all my passwords to the pass database (~6.4K entries). When I disable Browserpass the page load time comes back to normal. When I run the Firefox profiler it shows that CPU time is spent inside the Browserpass extension.
General information
- Archlinux
- Firefox 122
- Information about the host app:
- How did you install it? AUR
- Browserpass host app version: 3.1.0
- Information about the browser extension:
- How did you install it? AUR
- Browserpass extension version as reported by your browser: 3.8.0
Exact steps to reproduce the problem
- Open YouTube with browserpass enabled and a pretty big password database.
- Observe a slower page loading speed.
What should happen?
In my opinion, Browserpass should not analyze the page until a user interacts with the extension. If this contradicts Browserpass' design at least I suppose that page load speed should not depend on the database size.
What happened instead?
I've observed a slower page load speed.
Thanks for sharing all the details!
My immediate impression is that it will likely be solved by this forgotten PR https://github.com/browserpass/browserpass-extension/pull/230 - @erayd shall we have a fresh look at that?
@maximbaz Thank you for your rapid answer! I can confirm - when I installed the extension from #230 and enabled the "Hide badge counter" checkbox the performance drop disappeared. When I disable the checkbox the performance drop is back again.
since a few days/weeks, I noticied the plugin-in often get stuck on loading login list :
I have to close/reopen the menu, often more than once, to get my list :/ Can this be related ?
