High cpu usage in MS edge when bitwarden extension 2023.9.0 is installed

Since today I have a problem in edge with extremely high cpu usage and hangs when the Bitwarden extension 2023.9.0 is installed. When I install the 2023.8.3 for chrome in edge I do not have that problem.
Anyone else that has the same problem. This is the second time in a relatively short period I am having problems with the Bitwarden extension for edge. Last time was in version 2023.6.

Update - 14:04: Just tested on my girlfriends Asus Zenbook. Same issue there.

Can confirm this. Only some sites affected. 100% repro on www.seznam.cz. In 1-5 minutes, the browser will crash or spit out out of memory error. Made a github ticket about this.

Maybe these guys should setup a descent beta program. This is the second time in a short period that productions users get a problem with this extension.

Arrgh, yes, it’s happening again!

Can you share websites you are seeing this problem on? We are looking at www.seznam.cz that was shared so far. Any more?

I am not sure whether it is site related. But to me it happened at these pages:

Thanks all. We have a fix coming out later today. 2023.9.1

Just installed and tested 2023.9.1 and it looks like the problem is fixed.
However I consider it a great problem that problems like this slip through the testing and make it into the production version. In a descent Beta testing program this would have certainly been found.
