Reproduction steps

Wait another 3hrs and see it's at 1.2GB and the visualiser has gone into some alternative mode were it only shows a white circle no colours or cool horizon and has a visibly low fps. Restart app, back to normal. Whole app is under 300mb
Expected Behavior
Not to slowly engulf the system memory
Actual Behavior
Idk, I'm not fluent with electron or ts. Looks like a really slow memory leak tho.
Enabled plugins
Visualiser Adblock Blur nav bar Compact Navigation Sponsor block Taskbar media control
Additional Information
Seems like whoever did the visualiser knew about this issue as the visualiser goes into an alt mode after a while... almost to try stop any further leaking. Idk tho just speculation.
Experiencing the same issue in Arch Linux, seems to cause stuttering on X11.
