Describe the bug

I suspect there is a memory leak in floccus.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Start Microsoft Edge (I am using 89.0.774.27 at the moment)
  2. Set up Nextcloud account
  3. Sync
  4. Open Browser Task Manager
  5. Leave browser open for 24 hours

Expected behavior

Memory usage of floccus add-on should stay the same (something between 20-40MB; it's higher during sync but should free up memory afterwards). But after some hours, floccus has reached 400MB. I accidentally left browser running during weekend and on Monday, Browser Task Manager showed more than 3GB RAM usage just for floccus extension. Whole browser was sluggish (not even another website was loaded). After disabling extension, browser recovered.

  • Browser: Microsoft Edge
  • Browser Version: 89.0.774.27
  • Floccus version: 4.4.8
