Chome extension never auto-fills (Safari works). Requires manual copy

My issue (which I think has been present for the longest time) is that 1Password in Chrome never fills out anything. The inline 1P icon never shows up in input fields and opening the Mini-helper from the extension toolbar does not really help all that much, as pressing "Auto-fill" only opens up the assigned website in another tab. This happens no matter if I have set the website as the general domain or an address matching the exact same url as I am on. I need to manually copy username and password.

On the contrary, this works fine in Safari.

This is not some issue with the latest version (or the beta, that I tried today), but has been present for a long time.

I also use Chrome (and 1Password desktop) on Windows, and while I do not have the chance to check right now, I somehow have a feeling that it works better there? Also think it works fine on Linux, but I would need to verify. In either case, macOS does not work at all.

1Password Version: 7.8.7 (70807004)
Extension Version: 4.7.5.90
OS Version: macOS 11.5

    50% of this was now self-solved! I thought I had gone through most of the suggestions on the website (including killing Chrome to restart), but when I browsed the https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/1password-extension-deskt/aomjjhallfgjeglblehebfpbcfeobpgk I found this suggestions by Nhat_Nguyen as a response to someone with my issues:

    However, sometimes an update from 1Password or your browser could leave some pending updates. In that case, you can try these steps and most of the time, it should put things back on track for you.
    Right-click on the 1Password mini icon in the menu bar at the top right corner of your computer > select “Quit 1Password Completely” > > Quit all browsers > Restart your computer > Try 1Password again

    This was the trick to get the semi-automatic "Auto-fill" feature working! I had to kill the 1Password app for some reason. This makes it possible to click the 1Password icon in the icon toolbar and then press "Auto-fill".

    Still, the extension does not auto-fill the entires on page load and it does not show any icons in the input elements. So this is only half-way solved.
