1Password 8 + 1Password for Safari = very slow Safari

I just submitted this review on the Apple App Store. There is a significant performance degradation in Safari when using 1Password 8 with the 1Password for Safari extension (available on the Mac App Store).

This extension when implemented with 1Password 8 for Mac significantly slows down Safari. It's noticeable when you start Safari (takes longer), and the application itself is just bogged down too. I never had this issue with 1Password 7. This performance hit exists on my Intel an M1 based Macs. Just for giggles, I ran the Speedometer benchmark in Safari with the extension enabled and disabled. There's close to a 100 point difference, so this is measurable.

I removed this extension and 1Password 8 from my Macs, reinstalled 1Password 7, and all is well again. If 1Password 7 is working for you, do not upgrade to this until the kinks are worked out. I'm holding off for now.


1Password Version: 8
Extension Version: 2.3.3
OS Version: 12.3.1
