BTW, what distro?
I think it's a script that reloads the ads, and it eats memory, somewhat cumulatively, nibbling along. I remember the old YouTube memory leak from the days of Windows XP - that got fixed by YouTube somehow. Everyone thought it was their Windows computer or IE, but CNET did some studying and found a script YT was using had gone rogue.
If not for being forced to use Outlook, I'd be using Linux here. Outlook tasking doesn't work with Linux and Wine.

I think that's the script too, whatever changes the ads, it certainly keeps making the issue work, and so far, on Chrome, I use Ublock Origin. I do white list some sites to support them, but I have some filters that prevent issues like this, and it was triggered on VideoKarma (namely anything that refreshes the page for whatever reason).
My distro is Kubuntu. I grew up on KDE back 17 years ago, and while I've tried many other distros over time, I come back to KDE in the end (though I would like to forget KDE 4 ever existed, that was a nightmare--during that time I preferred Xfce, so Xubuntu was my distro of choice).
