What is the point of this wasted space in the Desktop app?

The desktop app has this unnecessary space taking up screen real estate at the top of the app. Why is it there? The app would look a lot better with this removed.

For example, it would look so much better like this, or let us press ALT to toggle hiding the menu bar like this.

I know this is basically a web app. Is this app just here until they develop something native on Windows? If that is true, then I can understand why little UI bugs like this are not being fixed on this app if something new is coming.

High disk usage with PIA extension in Edge

I've noticed the lastest update is causing significant disk usage, primarily when Edge is closed. I've tested in Edge, Edge Beta and Edge Dev, and can repeat the issue in all 3.

Yes I know it is a Chrome Extension, and this might be happening in Chrome too, but not sure.

When the PIA extension is enabled, and the browser is closed, it still runs in the background, and increases the file called "ExtensionActivityEdge" file by about 150kb per second. This happens when the VPN is not connected. (This file is located in the browsers "User Data" folder inside AppData.) By the time I noticed, this file had grown to over 80 GB!

"ExtensionActivityEdge" is a SQL Database. When I open it, I find millions of lines from the PIA extension, trying to use the API "windows.getCurrent" and its writing thousands of new lines a second it seems.

I have tried rebuilding my Edge profile from scratch and the problem eventually begins happening again. This is happening on my work PC and my home PC. For now, I have disabed the extension and am using the Desktop app instead.

Other troubleshooting steps I have tried are turning off all "extra features" and all "extension settings".

Does anyone else experience this issue?
