I am using `torify surf` in arm architecture, there doesn't seems to
have any problems. I am using `torsocks` version 2.1.0 and the git
`surf`.

I just have some problems with the memory, there seems to have some
memory leak, using a window of surf for about half an hour might use
more memory compare to using a firefox with a lot of tabs.

I does not know how to use `valgrind` and `strace` to trace the memory
leaks. Does someone know how to trace the memory leaks?

Is there a way that surf could use something like this to lower the
memory:

  master
  ├─ worker
  ├─ worker
  ├─ worker
  └─ worker
