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

    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

        Merged 12 posts from RAM usage seems high.

          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

          I am fairly sure it is the latest orion.

            My extension are lastpass and grammarly.

              Blopolot Please show steps to reproduce the problem, starting from a clean orion profile.

                  Vlad Where do I start from a clean profile?

                      i've had this same issue, sometimes hitting 2-3 GB of ram being used by various orion processes.

                        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)

                            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.

                                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

                                    Merged 9 posts from RAM usage is extremely high.

                                      THis isn't a bug report, but the category that i felt it fit best in. I want to see if anyone else is experiencing similar things

                                        If possible, can anyone test this on their device and post the results?
