           Summary: Webkit + Gstreamer never free any memory
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: manday at gmx.net


I've never actually seen webkit return any of its memory for html5 videos. The sad truth is that I got so used to closing and re-starting the browser in order to free the multiple Gigabytes webkit (WebKitWebProcess as of Webkit2) has aten up, that I never actually bothered to report this.

Easily reproducible with gstreamer-1.0 and youtube videos. Closing the tab will not free the memory.
