Ask HN: Dear GitHub the browser memory sucks
3 by bojo | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I've gone through 3-4 Firefox upgrades in Linux over the last several months and have consistently watched GitHub tab memory balloon out from 1gb to 30gb+ each and every time. At first I thought it may have been a Firefox or distribution bug, but only GitHub blows things up so bad. Why is this so terrible? I don't use other browsers so perhaps a Firefox only bug? Do they check this? Have had a couple friends confirm, but HN community? Thoughts?
