If something drains a lot of ram until rebooted it’s usually a memory leak. It could also be that a tab activates once you open it. So maybe you have 100 tabs open and over the course of time, more tabs get opened and more memory is used.

If the browser itself has an actual memory leak I think switching browsers might be a good idea. I dont think i have noticed my browsers memory leaking but i could also not have noticed it so not 100% sure on how often this happens.
