Memory usage for page continuously increasing after page load finishes

Reported by khym.cha...@gmail.com, Nov 11 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.89 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
http://www.craveonline.com/entertainment/989327-uncharted-4-petition-proof-gamers-concerned-metacritic

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Go to the given URL
2. Let the page finish loading
3. Keep the page up for several minutes afterwards.

What is the expected behavior?
After the page finishes loading, the amount of memory used as displayed by Chrome's builtin task manager window (Shift-Esc) will settle down to something constant.

What went wrong?
The amount of memory used constantly increases.

Does it occur on multiple sites: No

Is it a problem with a plugin? No 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? No
 Firefox 56.0

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.89  Channel: stable
OS Version: Fedora 26
Flash Version: 

None of the following makes a difference:

* Turning of extensions.
* Turning off experiments.
* Loading the URL under incognito.
* Loading the URL with Chrome unstable 64.0.3260.2

This page contains advertisements that constantly run some code using a timer, and that code is leaking memory.
If you're concerned with memory consumption, make sure to use an ad blocker.
I recommend uBlock Origin due to its memory efficiency.

Able to reproduce this issue on Mac 10.12.6, Win-10 and Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome reported version #62.0.3202.89 and latest canary #64.0.3268.0.
This is a non-regression issue as it is observed from M50 old builds. 

Hence, marking it as untriaged to get more inputs from dev team.

Thanks...!!
