Intermittently the ShopBack extension seems to get stuck in a loop and I have to kill it when I notice the browser getting laggy. Anyone else have this problem? It's been happening for at least a year or so and I sent an email to ShopBack and they denied it's a problem despite my providing a screenshot of it hogging my CPU.

I use Chrome on Ubuntu 20.10.

  Not confirmed. Not proven.

  I always disable extension I don't use regular, but that goes with the saying that you need to remember to enable the extension when shopping. Unless you don't buy stuff every day, you should probably disable the extension.

  That's my two cents.
