Recently, there is a memory leak when using the player in the browser. After closing the tab with the player, the memory returns.
OS: Debian 8.8 amd64 / 3.16.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.16.51-3 (2017-12-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
Browser: Firefox Quantum 59.0.2 (64-bit)

    Hi there, we don't support Linux on the web version, so I'm unable to offer much help, maybe someone else will have some input. In the meantime, there's a topic on our ideas forum about Linux support, make sure you vote for it to be implemented and join the conversation - https://en.deezercommunity.com/ideas/321

      Leak easily reproduced on Linux and Windows with Firefox 64

      initial state



      After 20minutes of "flow"



      After 1h of "flow"



      For information, all those task manager captures are done with firefox only browsing deezer with "flow" running, nothing else.

        Same issue has been seen with Linux and reproduced with Windows 7 64 bits.

        The screenshots are from windows task manager

            Hey @Lucas Zorzi

            Thanks for the query. We're discussing the possibility of a native app. But in the meantime, could you give us more details about what you've got? OS, browser version, system specs.

            Sure, I'm using Elementary OS (Ubuntu based) and Firefox 67.0.4 (but I have the same issue in chrome) and these are my system infos.
