Thank you for your investigation and observations @mrzyglockimarcin - the most "traffic" for the addon probably arise likely due to observed "xml http requests" for cookies. And the present fact that all browser storage data of the addon is requested on a single change or update of a cookie.
I am currently reviewing some ways to reduce the amount of data processed (on reads, writes of the browser storage) by the extension to a minimum. Unfortunately I am not able to predict when this will be ready as there are some issues with that, also pointed out on the Mozilla Add on Development Discourse which (from my understanding) block the described improvements in the Discourse posting, using a small set of storage "get" and "set" helper functions. If you are keen, you can take a look at it.
Any help is much appreciated so.

I have observed persistent CPU and I/O activity, which can very quickly force Vivaldi to crawl or freeze. Quoting another bug report:It seems that presence of the extension triggers nervous demands from Browser to NetworkService to update cookies - and the more tabs are loaded, the worse it gets, as pipe interrupts block other operations.
