When I'm on the https://aternos.org/server page, where I can start or manage the server, the memory/ram usage on my PC steadily increases over time to the point where my PC grinds to a halt.
This happened when I left the website open in the background while playing some MC, and I saw the usage by that browser tab was 12+GB.
I then did some tests:
- With adblocker disabled, thus ads are displayed, the RAM usage for the website went from 400MB to 1000MB after 20min.
- With adblocker enabled, thus no ads are displayed, the RAM usage stayed around 70MB throughout the 20min.
This was tested with both Firefox and Chrome on an Ubuntu Linux OS.
This leads me to believe that there might be some memory leak related to ads and it is quite frustrating, as I don't want to resort to blocking ads just to keep the website open.
