The browser simply disappears like a crashing app and is to be
restarted. By chance I discovered 7000 and 3000 history entries of my
two most popular technical sites now. So I deleted them by "settings ->
data protection -> delete browser history" in the webbrowser app. Since
then the browser has no crashes at the second tab. (Site opening from
twitter to webbrowser app doesn't work today, maybe another issue, so I
cannot test it.) And it reacts much faster. So the bug could be solved -
but:

I have the phone since 6 months but this could only be the history of
the last month. Is there a mechanism which deletes history entries older
then one month? So for me this is too late because I'm a heavy browser
user and read almost everything over the day on my phone. Possible
solution: So maybe 1-2 weeks of history should be enough. (In relation:
More important would be caching of more then two tabs, this is a really
annoying decision and reported from me in Bug #1446904 "browser is
limited to 2 live webviews" ).

Title:
  Crash when opening second site via new tab overview
  (favourites,popular sites,links from other apps)

Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I open a site and then the new tab section the browser in 80% of
  cases is crashing when I open there a favourite or a popular site
  link. Same behaviour when I open a link via email app Dekko or webapp
  in the browser while it is running with one or more tabs.

  BQ 4.5 with newest updates (without apt-get "hack"). Problem is since
  some months.  Latest time in channel rc-proposed but now since weeks
  in stable, too! I saved my "old" home and browser profile. But I don't
  want to delete my favourites. Maybe the problem is deeper in
  programming. I have some dozen of links saved.
