FINDING A BUG IN CHROMIUM
Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
A developer discovered a memory leak bug in Chromium related to WASM memory management in their Electron app, Atrium. The issue was from the JavaScript engine failing to consistently call finalizers in the FinalizationRegistry, which led to unreleased WASM memory. This behavior persisted across reloads, requiring a new window to resolve the leak.
