### Steps To Reproduce 1. Go to Chrome/Brave BW extension 2. Click on BW exten…sion to open & unlock with a pin 3. Input unlock pin ### Expected Result The BW extension should accept keyboard input without any lag. ### Actual Result The BW extension has about a ~2-3 second lag before it accepts keyboard input. ### Screenshots or Videos _No response_ ### Additional Context When attempting to unlock the BW chrome extension, there is about a ~3-second lag between when the extension dropdown opens to when it accepts keyboard input. Before the 2022.9 update, I never experienced this lag. In version 2022.8 and older, I would click the extension, and it would start taking input instantly. Looking back at this, this was an unnoticed workflow enhancer, as the vault would unlock pretty quickly. I'm running the BW extension on **Brave Beta Version 1.44.86 Chromium: 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) beta (arm64)**. This shouldn't matter as I've always run Brave in beta and the BW extension worked flawlessly before 2022.9. & 2022.9.1. I created a new Brave beta profile to test, but still the same thing. I am not using a self-hosted instance. All my browsers are up to date. Once browsers were closed out, there were no lingering processes for Brave or Chrome browsers. I ran the extension on **Chrome Version 105.0.5195.125 (Official Build) (arm64**), and I still get the same input lag issue. I tried on safari, **Version 16.0 (17614.1.25.9.10, 17614)** and input lag is also present there. ### Operating System macOS ### Operating System Version Version 12.6 (21G115) ### Web Browser Brave ### Browser Version Brave Beta Version 1.44.86 Chromium: 105.0.5195.127 (Official Build) beta (arm64 ### Build Version 2022.9.1
