Major memory leakage in Chrome

[Quartz]

I've had a look at the page source code. I haven't done any coding for 25 years, but I do see variables etc being allocated with the new( function but not de-allocated. Is this by design?

I've no idea! I don't write vBulletin! I'd be a lot richer if I did.

It's off-the-shelf software. I have no idea what anything you've said in this thread means, and each of your posts just adds a bunch more words that I don't understand.

Just to keep you advised, I have raised this issue with the Chrome developers and used EN World as an example. The problem seems to be with JavaScript.

And if anyone else is reading, EN World seems to be a good example of a tab leaking memory, going over 4 GB, and crashing.

Disabling Javascript stops the problem cold, but obviously stops a lot of functionality, including the advertising.
