Memory leak in browser and Deezer desktop app

Very specific language here @bytesnz  I've forwarded to our devs, super useful!

Keep me posted!

Hey @bytesnz 

Our devs got back to me on this, they say huge thanks to you for reporting it! 

They've been working on the leak for quite some time now, there are a couple of solutions in mind, hopefully that can be implemented during the first half of this year.

Great work, please be in touch, I'll get your comments across to them 

New user here.

Is this normal? Last night it even reached 800-900 MB.

5GB leak in about:memory in firefox on linux as well. I wonder what will stop first the leak or my trial..

Hopefully the leak @David Ghitulescu!

We're very close to releasing major updates to our desktop app which should drastically improve the performance of the app! Stay tuned for more updates 

Hi Rudi, you keep talking about the desktop app, but this thread is about the leak observed in the web application (on Linux/Windows & Firefox/Chrome). Are the updates are planned for the web app ?

That’s great news to know this problem will be solved soon ! Thanks !

You're right! The short answer is yes, but that's subject to other obstacles - the app is based on the web platform but the way they work is slightly different. The desktop app offering will be a bit more compact and reliable because of the way it's packaged and the updates which will be very welcomed @Raphael C42 

Fingers crossed everything will work as planned, and about the web app, development will continue to make it better 

In the meantime, have a good week and thank you for your support!

Adding myself to the (un)happy queue. Yep, memory leak happened to me as well on latest Firefox/Linux Mint.

Oddly it didn’t happen few weeks ago on Chromium (not Chrome) though.

Tomorrow I’ll revert on Chromium just for the sake of testing.

Still, it’s a bit of a shame that using a website (“web app” is just a silly synonym of) crumbles your PC :-/… this isn’t a *bug*, it’s poor design.

And yes, if you’re unaware of, we’re in 2021.

A small addendum: I think we’re way further from “Optimized for Internet Explorer [1024x768 resolution]” crap that stormed the Internet just “a while ago”. So answer like “we do not support Linux Browser” are not tolerable at all.

It would pleasable to read “yes, we’ve got a problem on the topic: we’re looking forward to resolve it.”… that’s to be said: “looking forward” is differently measured if it’s an open source or a paied service ;-)
