Oh yeah. If you leave a steam page open, it’ll create a very slow memory leak. Left store page open for about a week, came back to 6gb steamwebhelper xd
In my case, i use multiple workspaces. Had a workspace for gaming set up and left the window on the store page. Had a busy week so I didn’t game. I usually don’t turn off my computer because I contribute to Folding@Home at night. Week flies by and I start to wonder why my ram is full and investigate :D
memory leak’s at a rate that doesn’t matter (~30mb/hour). That makes it hard to track down & reproduce. Also, solution would be to just navigate to your steam library or just not leave the window open like that :p

Wait really?! Feel like that’s a bug that really needs addressing
what kind of sane person is gonna leave a steam page open for over a week, though?
I can see it easily being accidentally left open if you have a busy desktop and don’t regularly restart your PC

I mean… I often open steam for something and then kind of forget about it.
What kind of sane person is gonna debug and track down a memory leak, though? Just buy more ram
