Web browser extensions in the context of Nostr are used for signing notes, not for loading feeds or not loading feeds in Nostr clients.
What you may be experiencing is that some Nostr clients try to load and decrypt your DMs immediately upon login, and these get sent to your signer extension as separate requests. If the extension doesn't handle those requests gracefully, it tries to load all of the requests at the same time, crashing your computer.
Nostrudel does not do this. Instead, it waits to decrypt messages until you instruct it to do so manually. Likewise, Coracle has direct messages disabled by default, so it should not send you a bunch of decryption requests unless and until you enable direct messages.
Now, if you want a client that allows you to post to Nostr without the distraction of a feed, you should check out https://shipyard.pub/
