1Password 8 Freezes Chrome when unlocking
This happens sometimes, but it's very very annoying (Chrome freezes entirely for 5-10 seconds):
Chrome v105.0.5195.125
Extension v2.3.8
MacOS v12.5.1
1Password8 - 8.9.4

Hi Steph!
From what I have observed, the problem is not created by the new Chrome extension, but by the old "classical" one (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-extension-deskt/aomjjhallfgjeglblehebfpbcfeobpgk).
I can tell that, because when I remove the new Chrome extension, the problem persists. And the hang happens when I press CMD+\ which is the shortcut for the legacy old extension.
Another thing is that even if I remove the old/classical extension from the browser, I still get autofill functionality (or hang) with CMD+\ shortcut, which means, that the extension does not get removed from the browser completely.
Another thing is with or without the legacy extension installed, if 1Password app is not running, there is no autofill and no hang happening, but if 1Password app is running, sometimes autofill works, but most of the time Chrome just hangs for a long time.
So I have two questions basically - first one and the most important - how to properly remove the legacy extension from Chrome.
And the second one - do you intend to fix legacy extension or you are not supporting it any more and suggest to switching to the new one?
