Hello,
I'm reaching out about an issue with excessive RAM consumption by the Zen browser in a normal working scenario (a few tabs, no heavy games or 3D).
Observed metrics (macOS, 24 GB RAM):
Zen GPU Helper — 2.38 GB
Zen (main process) — 465 MB
Several ZenCP Isolated Web Content processes — ranging from 240 MB to 1.13 GB each
Total browser memory usage exceeds 5 GB
There are no other heavy applications running (just an IDE and GoLand at ~2 GB).
Reproducibility: The issue consistently appears after several hours of use, especially when working with modern web applications.
Expected behavior: The browser should properly unload unused tabs and processes, not exceeding 2–3 GB in a typical scenario.
Request:

Please look into possible memory leaks (especially in the GPU Helper and isolated web content processes).
Optimise memory management or add more aggressive background tab unloading.
Thank you in advance. I hope to see a fix in one of the upcoming releases.
