Removing myself as I don't have a Win 7 x86
VM anymore. @btlechowski I believe you have one handy, when you have some time, mind going through this and see if you can reproduce anything similar in terms of Brave eating up unnecessary memory?
I simulated the conditions reported in the issue(4GB, Windows 32bit Enterprise) and I was unable to reproduce. On clean profile, all Brave processes took max 200MB.
Tested with
Brave | 0.65.120 Chromium: 75.0.3770.90 (Official Build) (32-bit) |
---|---|
Revision | a6dcaf7e3ec6f70a194cc25e8149475c6590e025-refs/branch-heads/3770@{#1003} |
OS | Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (Build 7601.24468) |
@sr229 Did you have any pages open? Did you enable rewards?
@btlechowski no pages open, it was a fresh install of Brave, no modifications whatsoever.
Description
When starting the Brave browser, looking at resource utilization, it eats most of the 4GBs of the RAM (the maximum a i386 processor can handle). Windows will resort to paging at this point.
Steps to Reproduce
Actual result:
Your memory usage will have a big spike when Browser inits, then spikes down when closed.
Expected result:
Acceptable memory usage (Chrome and Chromium has 90% lesser usage in 32-bits)
Reproduces how often:
Easily reproduced
Brave version (brave://version info)
73.0.62.50
Reproducible on current release:

Additional Information
