            Bug ID: 147086
           Summary: Huge memory usage as you scroll down through Google+
                    pages
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit2
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org

Epiphany 3.16.2 using WebKit 2.8.3
(I have no idea what those version numbers in this bugzilla form mean, sorry!)

Using https://plus.google.com/+ZeeshanAli/posts as a test case:
Just loading that page, Epiphany eats ~270 MB of RAM for that WebKitWebProcess.

Then, as you start scrolling down, by the time you reach posts dated March 2015 the memory usage has ballooned to ~500 MB and more!

Somehow, Firefox (according to about:memory) manages to keep the page at <100 MB at all times. Chrome (on Windows) starts around 90 MB and grows as you scroll, but much more slowly (around 120-130 MB when you reach the same spot where Epiphany/WebKit is in the 500 MB's)
