    Does this work on firefox? Does ublock origin block this?

    Is this why linkedin eats so damn much ram. It eays 300 mb for a single tab. I opened 3 linkedin tabs and it lagged my entire computer.

      As far as I can see Firefox is not affected by this as they are using random UUIDs for extensions on each startup and this tracks Chrome package IDs that are static.
