Chrome plugin absolutely draining memory

speasley · April 14, 2024

With the Zotero Connector running, Chrome is nearly unusable. If there is not a memory leak in the plugin, it is so memory intensive that I cannot run it. Is this a bug? Is anyone else experiencing this?

I'm running Chrome v116.0.5845.96

We haven't gotten any other reports of this, no.

If you go to Window → Task Manager in Chrome, what does it say for Zotero Connector?

What happens after restarting your browser? Disabling all other browser extensions?

I have the same issue on Mac.

In chrome 135.0.7049.85 (Official Build) (x86_64):
