[Spike] Possible memory leak in webextension #364

Description

@pimotte

Based on some of the research in Utrecht I suspect the webextension might have a memory leak. Students describe the software becoming very sluggish. Specifically, this feedback makes me think this: "After using the software for more than 15 minutes the typing suggestions load very slowly. So when you want to type a special character using , you have to type , then wait a few seconds for the menu to load, and then type the character (if you start typing before the popup is loaded the typed special characters stays in text form and is not recognised by the software)."

Goal:

  • Establish if there is a memory leak, or if this is just the issue of computation for the later exercise sheets.
  • Check this for the Webextension in vscode.dev (working with the production version is fine), as well as the aquarium.
