Youtube causing massive memory leak in Firefox, watch 3-4 videos in same tab, and RAM usage shoots to 90 percent.

Adding on that I am experiencing the same. Especially if I ever directly visit a channel.
We're talking catastrophic memory leak that the Linux Kernel gets involved and force closes Firefox to prevent a crash.
No clue as to what's causing it.

It is in all browsers, this is Youtube policy to prevent ad Blockers and Track Blockers, if you stop them the memory is fine.
