Slowly consuming more memory when using Revolut Shopper extension
Since yesterday I noticed that my macbook air M1 was boiling hot while doing some normal browsing with orion, I thought it was a system issue so I shut down the mac since I was done working. Today I boot it up, open orion and start some very light browsing and within 3 minutes the mac is again very very hot for no reason, with orion using some 30% of CPU and a humongus impact on battery.
As soon as I quit orion CPU usage goes back to a standard 96% inactive and mac slowly cools down. Very annoying because makes orion completely unusable.
Steps to reproduce: open orion, browse, see whether the mac becomes hot. (there is not really steps).
Expected behavior: orion does not cause mac to overheat.

The dev team typically asks for system details such as platform (Intel or Apple Silicon), OS version, Orion version and steps to reproduce which may help them track down the issue. When you open an issue, there's a template pre-filled that will help guide you through that as well.
If a particular website or set of websites was causing this, I can try to replicate it on my end as another regular Orion user.
I don't experience this issue on any of the systems I run Orion on so perhaps it's related to a particular website or a particular extension.
You can also try to create a clean profile without any extensions by going to File -> Profiles - New Profile and see if it happens there, too.
Vlad I might have identified the issue (the revolut shopper extension)
steps to reproduce:
- Install the chrome Revolut Shopper extension and enable it
- browse to any website
CPU usage goes instantly to about 100
after uninstalling the extension this seems to be fixed, sorry but it took a while to test every extension that could have caused it.
