 ASan needs a lot of memory. But apart from that it seems even closing tabs
 or browser windows does not reduce the memory footprint of hardened
 builds. Rather, the memory consumption is growing and growing. We should
 try to determine if that is an ASan "feature" or whether we have real
 memory leaks that need to get fixed.
