🚨Metamask users, pay attention A user on github discovered a critical bug in Metamask by ConsenSys – after a fresh install on Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera), it writes 5 MB/s nonstop in the background, even if you’re logged out. That’s ~500 GB daily – or 25 TB in 3 months, literally burning through SSD life for no reason. 🔍 Details: - Located in: Local Extension Settings folder - Confirmed with Windows Performance Recorder - Happens across browsers, logged-out state The issue was reported on GitHub by ripper31337 👉 Probably @Consensys will do something soon, know they are a good at tech
