No, sadly it still exists. And it also spins processor cycles - we use 1PW as a company and others have had fans spin up when using the affected site. If it's any help, one of our devs noticed this when looking at it closely in Chrome:

You get a bunch of events and function calls from chrome-extension://aeblfdkhhhdcdjpifhhbdiojplfjncoa/inline/injected/webauthn-listeners.js and such. From our end it looks like what happens is we end up in a eventListener we set up
window.addEventListener("message" ...
and that spins the CPU a ton

So my current solution is to use Firefox for this one site without 1PW plugin, because I was having Chrome issues on my Mac (apparently an issue with Xcode - iOS development). Then I use 1PW plugin in Safari and avoid the problematic site. But honestly, 1PW in Safari has been so flakey lately if you work on a computer that goes to sleep. I pretty much have to cycle Safari anytime I come back to the computer after a lock/sleep cycle.
