[Bug 1446904] Re: Webpages always disappear when more then 2-5 tabs are opened
There currently is a hardcoded limit of two live tabs. When opening a
third tab, the webview for the least recently consulted tab is destroyed
to free up memory. This limit could probably be made a configurable
setting, and ideally we shouldn’t have to do that at all, but we’re
currently hitting an issue where the system’s out-of-memory handler
tends to select the process for the current tab when killing processes
to release memory, having the undesirable effect that the current tab
goes blank. There needs to be a way for oxide to instruct the system
about which renderer process to kill first.
** Summary changed:
- Webpages always disappear when more then 2-5 tabs are opened
+ browser is limited to 2 live webviews
** Changed in: webbrowser-app
Status: New => Confirmed
** Changed in: ubuntu
Status: Confirmed => Invalid
** Also affects: oxide
Importance: Undecided

Bug description:
I often open far more then 3 tabs but when I have 3-6 tabs open only
and chance back to another one this tab is cleared already and have to
reload.
It's not the same but similar to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1268055
But while this bug is a wishlist for me this behaviour is very unhandy and annoying:
This is very bad because you run more fast then necessary into the
traffic limit of your UMTS provider. And when it is a limited speed it
takes really really long to load the other tabs again and again when
you have to often chance between them.
In combination with other (maybe unreported until now) bugs it is more
bad than this because I have to load the site a while and then stop it
because advertisement blocks the view of the website until I stop it -
or wait until 30s again for nothing (ads).
How should it work: For example my opera mini on my old andoid device
with only 256 MB RAM works much better then this browser with 1 GB RAM
on Ubuntu phone - but this can chance. There I can open 50 tabs or
more and no tab have to reload!
How could it solved: Maybe there's the possibility for a new option in
the optional configuration file for a bigger cache size, a tab number
limit or something like this. I have enough RAM but no time and
traffic for reloading again and again. Please help as soon as
possible.
I used stable and vivid-proposed channel on a BQ phone with all
Updates.
