schalkneethling Hey All, I have Orion installed, no extensions, running 12 tabs. One fo these is a Google Doc and one is Google Calendar. Here is the memory usage of Orion. I am on a MacPro M1. These are my top 4 processes under memory in activity monitor. Firefox is running 15 tabs 5 of which is Google related services, and have around 15 extensions installed.
Vlad schalkneethling Hi, if posting a memory problem please include exact steps to reproduce (including what URLs you opened) compare the usage to safari in same configuration (same extensions etc) the best if you show a video while doing this with activity monitor visible Otherwise the report is not actionable. Thanks
schalkneethling I started closing some tabs hoping that the memory usage would go down, but it is having the opposite effect. I am now down to 7 tabs(including this one) and this is the current memory stats:
schalkneethling I eventually closed it down and reopened the browser. It has been running for around 2 hours now with three tabs open and memory usage is now at 75.8MB
Blopolot Steps to reproduce: I was just using the browser looking at kogan (shopping). That was the only tab open. Even right now its taking excessive ram just for this one tab. Expected behavior: I expected the normal amount around 100-500mb or something. But no, its 1.06GB Orion, OS version; hardware type: I am fairly sure it is the latest orion. Image/Video:
Vlad Blopolot You can go to File -> Profiles -> New Profile to create a new profile (default settings, no extensions).. Then show us how to reproduce high RAM usage (bonus points if you can show that in the same circumstances Safari uses radically less RAM)
Blopolot Vlad I started with a clean profile but it only reached 400mb, I'm not sure what is causing the issue. Also safari was only 100mb off on the same website. Edit: back on the default profile, it is 1.96GB from being on a single website.
Blopolot Vlad I am sorry, I forgor about this. I deleted my extensions and it solved the problem. I deleted my two extensions. edit: it only reaches around 400mb

Vlad eirk Without steps to reproduce the problem, not much we can do but acknowledge the problem exists on your system for unknown reason.
