After 10-15 minutes of using Safari, all kinds of websites (single tab) can take 3-8 Gb of memory in the Activity Monitor. I have to quit Safari every 30 minutes of so to reset the memory leak.

MacOS Big Sur - Safari 15. Simialr problem was happening with Version 14 before I updated recently.

Is anyone else experiencing this problem? How do I fix this?

Safari app itself is only showing me about 330mb and I've got 12 group tabs with dozens of tabs in each running straight for a few days now.
