Memory leak in browser and Deezer desktop app

This will be something we're tackling in the long-term @Rhazkept so thank you very much for your feedback, it's super useful 

When can we expect this to be fixed?

It has been going on for a long while, and nothing seems to have changed. This is extremely annoying and constantly breaks Deezer in the browser. I think it would be fair to state that we should have seen this fixed years ago, we pay a monthly subscription to use the service after all.

I totally understand that @timvisee 

We haven't made big improvements on this since we launch the apps but it's on our radar. It's something that needs a lot of development and for that reason, it takes time for a company of our size.

Stay tuned, your feedback is very welcome and will be forwarded to our teams.

I am also affected by this issue. Last night my whole system (Manjaro Linux) became unresponsive and I had to reboot the computer. After reviewing system logs I found out Firefox had been eating 26 gigabytes of memory, almost all of it by Deezer (I had been playing music for a while and it had time to accumulate without me noticing).

It’s puzzling to me how an issue of this magnitude can go unfixed for this long. It is dead simple to reproduce and memory allocations should be pretty easy to track for a competent developer armed with a debugger.

Thanks for the detailed feedback @Andriamanitra 

I believe the issue here is the fact we use an Electron package for our app. If it was developed natively, the performance would've been better.

In any case, I've forwarded your comments to our teams 

It is still leaking and crashing on Windows 10. App from MS Store also have memory leak problem and it keeps crashing several times per day.

If you won’t fix it -- I’ll cancel subscription as soon as Spotify will provide HiFi plan.

Hey @Alexey Kapitansky 

Thanks for the honest feedback.

Have you tried the app downloaded directly from us, instead of the store? A fresh install could help you check if the performance is better.

Yes, I did. App from MS Store (v5.30.30.0) was leaking and crashing several times per working day. Updated to v.5.30.50.0 a day ago, but haven’t used it enough yet. Will return with feedback.

App v5.30.50.0 crashed. Was listening Flow in HiFi quality.

It could be connected to Flow @Alexey Kapitansky that's great feedback! Thank you!
