sites from www,dw,com causes unusal memory consumptions

Hello,
I often observed "no response" from PaleMoon, because it's claiming memory. Usually I forcefully terminate the PaleMoon process, because I 5GB and more are not a appropriate behavior.
  • I checked this behavior also in "Safe Mode" with/without "without add-ons"
  • The behavior is older that the actual version: 29.2.1
  • Latest causing page: https://www.dw.com/de/spahn-zu-kreuzimpfung-sehr-sehr-hoher-schutz/a-58137325

This is a known issue caused by web scripts on dw.com

See

Unfortunately just searching for "dw.com" eludes our forum's search because .com is too common and dw is too short ;P

According to MC's top link, it is caused by the script from promio-connect.com. Block it and your problem should go away.
