Safari Using Exessive RAM and hangs

Since last week, Every-time I open Safari My RAM Jumps up from 5-8 GB to 15 GB! My Mac becomes very sluggish almost impossible to work upon and Its only for Safari. I have to Always force quit it.

No Tabs open, Only 2 Extensions Installed, BitWarden and Grammarly.


I have a MBP 14, 2021 M1 Pro And i think it's fair to assume that my mac is not SLOW. And i Keep cleaning the Cache and other gunk regularly as well.


Every other Browser and Application Works fine but this one is a real issue.


Is anyone else Facing the same issue? Please Help.
