Description

Brave extension background process is always in-memory, using up from 30mb - 150mb. This should be:

  • Only ever 30mb in size, and not grow.
  • Quit when not needed (not persistent)

In order for this to happen:

  • Everything needs to be ok with the extension's memory being wiped out in-between events (i.e. persist stuff)
  • Not load everything all at one time in to memory (i.e. every blocked resource list for every open tab)

Assigining multiple people as hopefully some of us can look at it after brave/brave-core#13638 with regards to greaselion / rewards API usage which prevent the extension process exiting periodically

I think this is resolved with the new WebUI-based Rewards panel? #22423 @petemill
