Memory leak on Chromium

166 147 August 13, 2026 at 07:23 PM
This has been going on for a while to the point where I have stopped using SD on desktop. Something on the webstie causes extensive CPU usage and memory leaks on any Chromium browser to the point of browser becoming unresponsive for minutes. I've tested it with my primary Edge, Chrome regular with some extensions, and a blank install of Chrome Canary. How can I help you find the culprit?

No. Browser task manager is still showing 5-14% CPU usage on SD tab in focus.
