Extremely high CPU usage until "Utility: Network Service" restarted #58

Before killing (restarting) Utility: Network Service (two tasks running at ~100% and ~70% non-stop):

And after (everything more or less at 0% as expected with nothing happening in the browser):

Every time I launch this Vivaldi flatpak under Void Linux w/ KDE Plasma 6 desktop (Wayland or X11 session) I have to kill Utility: Network Service to restart it through the Vivaldi Task Manager (Shift + Escape) or else my CPU will run at 75°C at "idle" instead of 50°C like normal contributing to making my already hot room unbearable and undoubtably shortening the lifespan of every component in the computer due to the excess generated heat.

Before figuring this out I disabled all my extensions, unpinned all tabs in workspaces and killed every other process in the task manager to no avail. Please let me know if there's anything I can do to help fixing this. Perhaps I should reach out to Vivaldi support even when this isn't their official packaging... Reporting this here since I cannot reproduce this with the native vivaldi packaging.

This is a major issue with this packaging of the software imo and I'll most likely abandon the browser entirely if I don't find a solution sooner than later especially if I can still reproduce it on another distribution later where the flatpak would more or less be the only real choice for running it.
