9 hours ago Good point @astr0gator! Yup, Extra Pane doesn't do any optimizations around the webviews (think of those as embedded safari tabs). This behavior should be fixed!
However, I'm not sure when I'll be able to get around to figuring out how to do the optimization without compromising on the convenience an "always on" pane brings presently. For my personal use, I think this problem went unnoticed because of the high-end macbook provided to me by my employer for my day job 🤣
I'll keep this issue open with a "help wanted" label so that folks can contribute a fix 😇
Instant google search example works great 🙏 The only caveat is that it generates a process “AlfredExtraPane Web Content” https://www.google.com that takes ~300-400MB of RAM and it stays alive permanently even though I don't use that instant search anymore. With this approach each extra-paned workflow would add up. Any suggestions how on how to terminate it after usage?
