Description of the issue:
When playing any programme then pausing it, on BBC sounds (bbc.co.uk/sounds) after a period of time memory just continues to be taken up by the Brave process - it eats up GBs worth of memory making the machine heat up. This problem is intermittent. Sometimes it takes the programme to be on pause for a long time, other times not and I cannot see any pattern to this. Sometimes memory useage skyrockets when just leaving it playing. This doesnt happen in Safari or Vivaldi.
How can this issue be reproduced?
Expected result:
Brave Version( check About Brave
):
Mac OS Catalina 10.15.4
Brave both previous and current versions ( Version 1.8.86 Chromium: 81.0.4044.129 (Official Build) (64-bit))
