I am seeing "The 1Password browser extension needed to restart" tab appear over and over. I restarted my browser and entire machine and I still get this new tab all the time.

See my software versions:

MacOS 26.5

Chrome: 149.0.7827.116

1P extension: 8.12.24.34

1Password for Mac 8.12.22 (81222017)
