    Hi, not sure if anyone else is having this issue but it’s got me stumped.

    Basically with Query Monitor activated, closing my sites tabs on Chrome has a massive delay and causes the browser to freeze temporarily. This happens on Chrome and Brave browser (only browsers I tested).

    I tested some much smaller sites of mine as well, and the problem still persists (slower tab closing) but it’s not as bad.

    Disabling Query Monitor fixes the problem completely and tabs close instantly.

    Anyone have any idea of what is happening here?

    Note that I don’t recall this happening before today. Not sure if it’s because of a new Chromium build? Wondering if anyone is experiencing the same thing.

  • Yes! It looks like that, my issues are fixed, too!

    Sorry to say not resolved for me even after the update. Not hanging for as long but I still get Not Responding on a refresh of the tab in admin and on frontend. Very strange.

    I am also facing this issue with the specs below.

    I have tried switching to the Twenty Twenty-Three theme with no other plugins active and I still experience the issue (though not as bad). Interestingly, it is noticeable when viewing the page’s source — simply enabling the plugin and refreshing the view-source adds ~ 200MB to the memory footprint of the tab in Chrome’s task manager.

    A fresh WP installation with only Query Monitor activated also shows a memory footprint of ~140MB while viewing the page source (logged in) vs ~40MB (logged out or plugin disabled).

    Yup, this is still happening. Tested on a few different computers, on multiple WordPress websites. Navigating on the website is almost impossible, closing tabs take atleast 5s+ ??

    Was experiencing this too, seems to be fixed after updating to
    Version 108.0.5359.71 (Official Build) (arm64)

    Yeah this does seem to have been fixed in 108. This Chrome bug report resolution confirms the same: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1379174

    Thanks for the reports everyone!
