Vivaldi 2.2.1388.37 memory leaks problem on Manjaro.
-
Way to reproduce the problem
This problem is not hard to reproduce because it occurs under no special condition. To see the process of leakage more clearer, follow these steps :
- Open the task manager of vivaldi
- Keep an eye on the memory usage of first process, which ts the main process of vivaldi.
- Open a normal tab and close it, you'll find the memory usage goes up by 1 MB for each tab on average.
That is to say, for some reason, the browser does not release the memory after a tab is closed.
By the way, only tested with Linux 4.20.

Yeah, I will do so if anyone experience same problem -
I'm experiencing the same issue.

To be clear, I'm seeing 142 vivaldi processes, but I only have 3 tabs and 2 extensions open. It seems when I have YouTube open and running in a tab, the memory starts growing like crazy over the course of of an hour or two (watching htop). I closed it at 2GB when I only had 3 tabs (1 YouTube) open.

I don't think over 142 processes forked is where the problem really lies. If you're a Linux Firefox user, you can also found this many processes of firefox. And whether can youtube webpage eat so much memory or not? Maybe this much consumption is just normal.To me, my problem is that closing vivaldi tabs releases no memory, and it finally eats my whole memory though all tabs are closed.

You're probably right about the number of processes, those include all the forked processes under the main tab/GPU processes and that seems normal. Anyway, the problem only occured when running Manjaro/Linux under a vmware VM under windows. For some reason, the memory just kept growing and growing. Once I switched to Linux native, I don't see the issue.
In fact, I'm running under 3GB with Vivaldi and an IDE open, and it doesn't grow, so I think it might just be a VM issue, or some quirk related to my installation under the VM.

My on-metal Manjaro - Vivaldi Snapshot - Vivaldi Stable combo does not manifest the misbehaviour alleged in this thread. FYI.

@Leegenux Having the same problem on one of our computers. Eventually it WILL eat up all the swap and memory. I end up closing Vivaldi to fix the problem.
