Safari is taking too much memory

Hello Guys;


I'm trying to use the new geat features with Safari with El Capitan in my Macbook Retina 12", 1.3Ghz. Everything starts fine, but there must be a memory leak somewhere. Just after a few minutes, even with no activity in the browser I can see the safari's memory usage grows to 4 then 5 then 6Gb of RAM.


Do you have the same behaviour?


Thanks;

Today this is still an issue where Safari sits idle, and the browser tabs go off on a memory consumption rampage. The same sites, when opened in Chrome tabs when viewed in Activity monitor, Chrome does a better job managing the memory. Imagine running out of memory on an M2 max doing absolutely nothing.

Apple Silicon M2 Max, 32GB macOS 13.4.1 Safari 16.5.1

Even the same with me. I am using MacBook Pro M1 Pro 16" 2021 with 512 GB of storage and 16 GB of Memory. 9 GB of Memory used just with 2 Safari tabs and Activity Monitor. More than 4 GB of Memory with a specific lightweight application, which most people use for messaging worldwide. While using Xcode with the simulator running and Safari with two tabs, it uses more than 3 GB of SWAP. They are telling me to take the backup of my MacBook and reinstall the OS but all of my external drives are full. I just switched from Windows to Mac, such a horrible experience and it just got in this month.

same here. each browser window uses 1-2GB of ram while sitting idle. Safari is using over 10gb of ram in total. very inefficient browser. and Acrobat also using 3+GB with just 1 PDF open...

Is this normal?

This is also true on Sonoma Beta 5
