Wow, yesterday I saw v2.53.3 process go over 4 GB (about 83% used on
my decade old, updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 PC's 6 GB of RAM)! :O

"Some users report heavy memory usage compared to 2.49.5 but no
specific problem or common cause has been found yet." I see this
happen often from YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Reddit (new
design is the worst compared to its old.reddit.com), etc. from my
usages. I can reproduce it easily.
4GB is not excessive when you look at the sh*t websites call source code
and which needs to be decoded. For other cases huge javascript files rom
10 sites or more trackers etc... It can happen. With one or two videos
it also goes up to 1 to 2 GB fast. This is not 1990 any longer and
2.53.3 supports a lot more features compared to 2.49.x.
There are reports of 20 GB or more on startup and crashes when using
streetmap and specific websites. I can not reproduce this neither on
Linux nor Windows. Memory goes up but also goes down moderately. In some
cases I suspect problemes with Linux distribution builds. IanN thinks it
might be imap mail.
Wow, 20 GB! Do you have the rest of the specific web sites for us to
reproduce?
I did have a Firefox v77(?) crash while downloading a 4 GB file from
mega.nz. My PC crashed to halt and had to be resetted to get out of it.
I couldn't reproduce it again but did notice its memory kept going
higher and higher. I contacted its support, and they told me to use
their extension (no thanks). :(
Does not mean that SeaMonkey is error free or that there is no porblem.
We are constantly fixing bugs and backport things now.
In any case I recommend NoScript 5.19 and latest uBlock classic (legacy).
I will have to check out NoScript. Why no uBlock Origin instead of classic?
