I am experiencing a memory leak in Safari when I repeatedly create and destroy a THREE.js scene that loads GLTF files and tile map images.
The process involves completely removing DOM nodes and disposing of all THREE.js objects during each destruction phase. While the memory usage remains stable in Chrome, Safari shows a continuous increase. I have verified that all relevant resources are disposed of properly, yet the issue persists in Safari.
Below is the core code of my destruction function:
TYPESCRIPTstatic disposeObject(object, withMaterial: boolean = true){ const self = this; const disposeMaterial = (material: Material) => { Object.getOwnPropertyNames(material).forEach((property: string) => { const materialProperty = (material)[property]; if (materialProperty !== undefined && materialProperty instanceof Texture) { const texture = materialProperty; const image = texture.source.data; if (image instanceof ImageBitmap) { console.log('dispose imagebtmap'); image.close(); }else{ console.log('dispose image'); texture.image = null; } texture.dispose(); } }); material.dispose(); }; if (object instanceof Object3D) { if (object.parent) { object.parent.remove(object); object.parent = null; } } if(object.children&&object.children.length>0){ for (let i = object.children.length -1; i >=0 ; i--) { this.disposeObject(object.children[i]); } } object.children.length = 0; object.children = null; if (object.geometry !== undefined) { object.geometry.dispose(); } if (object.geometries !== undefined) { for (const geometry of object.geometries) { for (const key in geometry.attributes) { geometry.deleteAttribute(key); } geometry.setIndex([]); geometry.dispose(); } } if (object.material !== undefined && withMaterial ) { if (object.material instanceof Array) { object.material.forEach((material: Material | undefined) => { if (material !== undefined) { disposeMaterial(material); } }); } else { disposeMaterial(object.material); } } for(let key in object.userData){ delete object.userData[key]; } object.userData = {}; object = undefined; };
Here are the versions I am working with:
Any advice on what might be causing this Safari memory leak would be appreciated. Thanks!

Based on your code and description, I can see you're experiencing a memory leak specifically in Safari when repeatedly creating and destroying Three.js scenes with GLTF models and tile map images.
Looking at your disposal function, there are a few things that might be causing the Safari-specific memory leak:
dispose()
method on your renderer when it's no longer needed:TYPESCRIPTrenderer.dispose();
This is crucial as it frees GPU-related resources allocated by the renderer instance.
Texture Source Handling: Your approach to texture disposal might not be complete for Safari. Safari's WebGL implementation can handle memory differently.
Setting object = undefined: At the end of your function, setting object = undefined
only changes the local variable, not the actual reference passed to the function.
Here are some modifications to try:
TYPESCRIPT// Make sure to call this when destroying your scene renderer.dispose();
TYPESCRIPTif (materialProperty !== undefined && materialProperty instanceof Texture) { const texture = materialProperty; // Clear all texture properties texture.dispose(); texture.image = null; texture.mipmaps = []; // If using source property (newer Three.js versions) if (texture.source) { const image = texture.source.data; if (image instanceof ImageBitmap) { image.close(); } texture.source = null; } }
TYPESCRIPTconsole.log("Memory usage:", renderer.info.memory);
Check for cached resources: Safari might be caching resources differently. Make sure any loaders (GLTFLoader, TextureLoader) are properly disposed or recreated between scene changes.
Force garbage collection after disposal (though this is not guaranteed to work):
TYPESCRIPT// After all disposal operations if (window.gc) { window.gc(); }
Safari's WebGL implementation can sometimes handle memory differently than Chrome, especially with textures and GPU resources. The key is to ensure all GPU-related resources are properly released when no longer needed.
