Keep the PC awake
I noticed that my laptop wasn't going into sleep mode after a period of inactivity. I realized this happened whenever I had Chrome open. So, I tried turning off all the extensions one by one until I figured out that only with this particular extension active, the laptop couldn't go into sleep mode after the idle time. There's probably something in this extension keeping the computer awake, perhaps in the Service Worker.
I also have a Chrome extension, so I completely understand that leaving a review wasn't the nicest thing to do to signal this nasty issue. That's why I chose to report it here instead.

Hey Tony, thanks again for reporting.
I found the issue. (Since you're a developer, I'll go a bit technical.) We use the
AudioContextto render the volume levels during recording. The problem is, after recording stops, we don’t properly clear theAudioContext, which tells your operating system to stay awake. I'll fix this and it will be available in the next update.BlabbyAI Dev

Hi, I see that the problem is still there even in the last update. I am forced to deactivate the extension every night, otherwise I wake up in the middle of the night with the laptop still running. Really annoying bug.

We actually did fix this already but totally forgot to include it in the last update, sorry about that! I’ll be pushing out a new update, and it should be live in the next 2-3 days.

Hey Tony, we’ve pushed a fix to the Chrome Web Store. It might take a couple of days for it to be approved and published.
