YouTube users are reporting a bug that causes high RAM usage and frozen browser tabs. The issue appears to trap browsers in an endless layout recalculation loop.
According to Reddit users, a single YouTube tab can consume over 7GB of RAM. The exact root cause has not been officially confirmed by Google or YouTube.

The bug affects the YouTube interface and can lead to significant performance degradation. Users have shared their experiences on Reddit and Bugzilla.
Until Google releases a fix, users may need to close YouTube tabs or restart their browsers to free up memory. The company has not yet commented on a timeline for a solution.
