So every now and then for the past few months I've noticed Chrome will go nuts and eat all the ram, and I mean way more than usually. It will keep gobble all the RAM and CPU resources until the computer crashes. I wasn't sure what was causing it so I started paying attention to what was open when it starts to happen and I've pinned it to deviantart tabs. What is DA doing that causes this? no idea.

Has anyone else who uses DA noticed this or had this happen? Or does anyone know any other sites that do it?

Good thing that there's Ungoolged Chromium!

@Millcore:

I've noticed the same when navigating around DA. My best guess is it does unnecessarily stupid things to dynamically load links in the active page, rather than proper page-to-page linking, preventing the browser from reclaiming resources from the pages you've moved away from. Opening links in new tabs and closing the old ones can help, but that's less than ideal.
