Not sure if this is related, but Chrome on my Macbook regularly gets to a state where one process (a tab?) is consuming 4 Gb RAM and 20%+ CPU. This happens on both M1 and Intel CPUs, on multiple releases of OS.

Situation seems to happen some time after visiting ad-heavy sites (yeah I know I should install an ad-blocker). Have others noticed this? Seems to be Chrome. I also use Firefox and occasionally Safari but have not noticed that with those browsers.
