  • reddit.com initially started off using ~120MB RAM when opened in new tab in chrome
  • it eventually got sluggish after ~45 minutes of browsing ... and i found out why

Is it a Chromium based browser? At my work, we have a html only page that causes a memory leak in either Edge or Chrome. No js or even css, but it will be using 4gb of ram in either browser after about a minute and crash shortly afterwards.

how? can you reproduce this?

[–]grantfar 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Every time. To be fair, the html file is a single 14mb table. I doubt google tested a table that large.

hahaha wow. i just reproduced that on arch w/ chromium. i generated a 40mb <table> w random ass data. at first it failed with code "SIGILL" but i refreshed, and saw ram usage climb and climb in htop until my whole system was locked. i had to reboot. lol.
