Description

This is a bug that exists a long time ago. I first experienced it in Chrome. I thought it was a chrome problem but I also experience it on Firefox.

Opening the vuejs in dev tools to inspect components, freeze the browsers.

The problem doesn't happen when I open the developer tools in floating (separate) window.

After I closed the floating (separate) window, it freezes the browser and start consuming memory.

But using in the same window as the web page it freezes more frequently.

It consumes like 10 GB and increasing. Also it uses my disk space.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze with Vue Devtools opened in the browser's docked developer tools in Chrome and Firefox, then compare it with the floating-window behavior described in the issue. Investigate the browser memory usage during docking and closing; done means the browser remains responsive without continuously consuming memory or disk space.
