Possibly closing the app GUI doesn't kill the process itself. Something similar to what skype does. Have you tried starting the app from cli?

Ubuntu also caches applications in RAM and only frees them when another app needs the space. See: askubuntu.com/questions/743649/… & askubuntu.com/questions/184217/…

Unfortunately, 4gb ram is not enough for a smooth experience on 18.04. I'd suggest you downgrade to 16.04 or move to other distro with lesser footprint.
There are some tricks you can try before (disabling services, removing startup and background apps)
See
reducing ubuntu memory usage
lobotomizing gnome
Additionally you can try using Zram (sudo apt install zram-config) to make expand your existing ram size.
You can get about 400-600mb back from those steps mentioned, and zram will compress your data and store as sawp so you won't run out of memory soon. But the moment you start a browser with 15 or more tabs, you'll feel it's time to upgrade your hardware.
