Absurd Memory Leak and CPU Usage

Reported by ashtonbe...@gmail.com, Jan 13 2018 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/63.0.3239.132 Safari/537.36

Example URL:
https://s5.postimg.org/aft2ad0zb/screenshot_2018_01_12_at_20_02_54.png

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Facebook.com
2. Scroll your newsfeed
3. Watch in horror as your memory usage reached 2gb and above and the CPU is going OVER 100% and the laptop laggs and sticks.

What is the expected behavior?
Memory is freed after it is used.. duhh!

What went wrong?
Memory wasn't freed!

Does it occur on multiple sites: Yes

Is it a problem with a plugin? N/A 

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 63.0.3239.132  Channel: stable
OS Version: 10.0
Flash Version: 

Can you tell my WHYY scrolling my newsfeed and commenting on a post makes the CPU spike and why the memory of the simple page reaches 2GB and more?

Not reproducible to me.

Please contact Facebook. It's almost impossible to investigate this because page content of Facebook depend on users.

Why don't the developers of chromium seem to care about freeing memory when finished using it in their source code? I remember the days of 64mb ram. If you didn't free your variables your program would crash the computer. Those programmers wrote real code. Programs that were foolproof once coded and didn't need updates every week because the code hardly ever had bugs and would be tested before being released to the end user. The end user was not the bug reporter. 

Long story short, does a webpage really contain 2gb of data in images and html?
