Hey everyone, I've observed some problems with live streaming on Chrome recently. On platforms like Kayo, 9now, and 7 Plus, the stream initially works fine, but after a while Chrome becomes slow. In Task Manager, RAM usage spikes to around 14GB, causing Chrome to crash. I keep the browser open next to the window, and once it hits about 10GB, closing the tab brings RAM back down to under 1GB, requiring me to refresh the site. This issue occurs on both my laptop and desktop, using Windows 10 Pro with the latest updates. I suspect older versions might crash with a specific Chrome error, but now it just crashes the entire browser. It doesn't affect YouTube or news sites, though I assume shorter videos are the reason. Anyone else experiencing this or have a solution?
