Memory Leak on Hacker News?


When I browser hacker news my brave browser on mobile slows down and screen can no longer be scrolled.

I noticed it in last few days.

It's very unlikely. Of all sites, this one consumes only what's needed for server-rendered pages with minimal client-side JavaScript. Each page is created and destroyed anew, so there's really no room for a memory leak.

The cause must lie elsewhere: the browser, your network connection, whatever other apps you've got running, etc.
