In firefox you can see which pages and addons use the memory on the about:processes page, shortcut is shift+esc.

    What was the culprit?

    Also this is a kind of joke/meme community on IT topics, questions like these should go to !techsupport@lemmy.world

    Except if it's your gentoo box running on live rat brain, and your problem is why it uses 3 bytes more than it should. For questions like that this is the correct community.

    sorry friend, lately browsers have been very heavy and I used Firefox because it is light, so now nothing is more meaningful
