I’m using the latest Vivaldi browser. Just installed (Chrome’s) IPFS companion extension in it, as well as the IPFS desktop program (latest version). It’s working, all right, but the problem is that the companion is often making the browser extremely slow (as in, it doesn’t load anything at all for many long seconds). I noticed that when that’s happening, if I click in the extension’s icon, it doesn’t show anything. Then when the browser resumes loading, the Companion’s settings pop-up appears… If I disable all IPFS integrations, the browser works fine. If I exclude a website from it, the website works fine.
I’m using up-to-date Windows 10 in a reasonably fast machine with several GBs of RAM available, and little CPU usage.
FWIW I tried disabling all my other vivaldi extensions, just in case it was a matter of a conflict between them, but it didn’t help.
