1 Tab in Safari using 30GB ram?

[Astrohunter]

Hi,

Just did a clean install of Monterey, but I've had the same problem on beta versions.

Anybody else encountered it?
It happens on multiple websites if I leave them on for a longer period of time.

I've seen this happen on different websites and different browsers. Some sites have broken javascript that will allocate objects in memory but never release them. it adds up over time. Sometimes You'll see a notice that safari has stopped a page due to excessive energy usage. I guess it doesn't do that just for crazy RAM usage.

But it only happens on Monterey.

obviously that is a bug, glitch or business as usual in 2021
 is getting very complacent with their new programing, content or business as usual in 2021.
the new upgrade will fix that and we will be happy!

30GB is quite huge tho
