Bug Description
Perhaps this is something in gstreamer or webkit, but I've noticed that midori doesn't free the memory taken for HTML5 videos on youtube, even after the video is closed (tab is closed or new address is loaded). Needless to mention, after watching a few longer videos midori first takes over most of my memory and then slowly starts claiming all my swap space, too.
Trying this on a local video it definitely doesn't leak, as I can watch e.g. several-gigabyte movies in the <video> element. I'll try some more scenarios such as a local webserver and youtube soon.
