[Mainsite] Follows Updates 2+GB RAM usage on opening

[Vinnaka]

When you open Follows Updates, it is loading very slow, sometimes need to wait for 1-2 minutes for it to load and be clickable.
In Task Manager browser tab consume A LOT resources, much more that suppose to be.

Reproduce:
1. Open Task Manager
2. Open Browser (Chrome)
3. Go to MangaDex Updates page while being logged in.
4. Watch numbers in Task Manager goes from 0 to 2GB RAM and 10% CPU with 8 cores 16 thread trying to open just a mere webpage for 1-2 minutes.

Specs:

• Chrome Version 148.0.7778.179 (Official Build) (64-bit)
• Windows 11 Pro 25H2, OS build 26200.8457
• Network cable to router (no Wi-Fi ofc), optics from router to ISP

Yeah... Just some casual javascript memory leak... Or maybe not?
Did you installed too many extensions?
If not then, this might be a Chrome specific issue.

Instead of using Windows Task Manager you might want to look at Chrome's internal "task manager". Its under "more tools" in the menu or you can use "shift + esc" (iirc) to bring it up. That should give you a better look at what the tab is using vs what your entire browser is using.

Using Firefox's equivalent (about:processes) this is what I see

Just sounds like Chromium doing it's normal resource hogging.

It was screenshot not full Chrome, but one of its processes that tab was open. I mean, once you kill this process, tab is killed, not Chrome.
Internal Chrome's task manager simply confirmed it as well.

Not really? Just Gmail Checker, Acrobat Extension, AdGuard. And with disabled AdGuard things are the same.

So far, only this issue for MangaDex then. Other tabs aren't consuming 2GB RAM

Try clearing the browser cache. It can (will) get corrupted and this corruption can cause the strangest issues.

You might want to check your display settings (at https://mangadex.org/settings#site) to load fewer chapters at once...
