screen shot of memory usage by app, showing Firefox using over 18GB of RAM

I also don’t understand why every chat app needs 1GB of RAM to itself.

    That sounds like a memory leak.

      It sure does. I’ve never cracked 30GB RAM before. The site is doing something weird, for sure. Though I feel like Firefox should catch this before the OS crashes.

        The OS crasching before Firefox seems weird. The OS should kill the offending process to free up memory for its own use. I wonder what went wrong.
