Increasing ram usage and tool never finishes.

Created by: vincentcox

Steps to reproduce:

Spawn a fresh Ubuntu 20.04 server (no GUI) VPS, install all the tools:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs -y 
sudo apt install npm -y
sudo apt install jq -y
sudo apt install chromium-browser -y
export PUPPETEER_EXECUTABLE_PATH="/usr/bin/chromium-browser" # Fix the "browser not installed" bug, "stolen" from the Dockerfile
npm install --global https://github.com/EU-EDPS/website-evidence-collector/tarball/master 
mkdir output_dir
website-evidence-collector --output output_dir/vincentcox.com --json --max 3 https://vincentcox.com --overwrite -- --no-sandbox # Fix the chrome sandbox issue, found somewhere in the issue tracker

It keeps running and it keeps eating resources: rip memory (rip memory)

Note that I am using the latest version from Github and that something might broke it in the Github version. But as explained in this issue (https://github.com/EU-EDPS/website-evidence-collector/issues/41), I cannot access the official download link of the stable version.
