Safari uses enormous amount of Ram Memory

Question

Safari uses enormous amount of Ram Memory

For some reason Safari uses a up a very large amount of Ram. Specs to analyse are attached. This has just suddenly started happening. (using a HDD 3TB External Harddrive I do work on like Photo sorting and rearranging, also watching Videos with VLC but I didn't see any increase on Ram usage)

Does anybody of you kind Apple Experts have an answer to why this is happening? How can I prevent this in the future?

I would really appreciate your input.

With Safari: ***

With Safari 2:

Without Safari: ***

Thanks for your Time.

You have CleanMyMac installed. It probably contributed a lot to the problem. It degrades every Mac in which it is installed. Any program that claims to clean, optimize, or tune up a Mac is by definition a scam because the mac OX can do that stuff on its own.
