Bug Summary

Every day sometime after the middle of my work day every day the browser will get dramatically slow to the point of feeling frozen and it gets slower the longer I use it. Closing and reopening fixes the issue but the tabs on my second window are dropped and it takes time for the browser to fully close and reopen

I am using the Flatpak version on the latest LTS of Ubuntu (22 then updated to 24). I also have tab unloading enabled to prevent too many tabs from slowing down the browser.

Reproduction Steps

1. Use the browser for multiple hours
2. Profit

Expected Behavior

The browser to be just as fast in the afternoon as it is in the morning

Actual Behavior
