Web apps with hardware acceleration reserve VRAM even when minimized

Applications using web-based interfaces and hardware acceleration construct their frames in VRAM, often reserving memory even when minimized. This behavior can consume significant resources, such as Discord's 450 MB, Steam's 200 MB, and Telegram's 150 MB, totaling over 1 GB.

• Discord reserves 450 MB of VRAM.
• Steam takes 200 MB.
• Telegram uses 150 MB.
• Combined usage can exceed 1 GB.

To free up VRAM for other tasks like running local LLMs, users should close these apps or disable hardware acceleration in their settings. On Linux with Nvidia drivers, the `nvidia-smi` command can help identify which applications are consuming VRAM.
