Explanation

There is a memory leak on the 10th anniversary event website at https://10thanniversary.deadbydaylight.com/. The memory leak is caused by a huge amount of timers being created and not disposed/freed. After leaving the website open in the background for a couple of DBD games, the memory usage reached 12GB which began to hang my pc. I made the tab inactive and freed the memory, and performance returned.

You can profile this memory using your browser's devtools and tracing the source will reveal a huge amount of timers being created on the DOM.

As of writing this, waiting about 5 minutes resulted in 4GB memory usage.
