Iron tabs take up a lot of memory after running for a while

Post by sonicwaves »

The Iron browser has a very fast startup and performance - but after running for about an hour or so, some of the tabs take up a LOT of memory and load very very slowly when I click on the tab. I can literally see the tab contents "painting the screen" as they load.

Has anyone had a similar experience with tabs loading slowly and taking up a ton of memory after the Iron browser runs for a while?

That's not even main problem. Browser dies after allocating 1.86 GiB of RAM. Just giving an error. Or freezes.

I am having the same problem as the TC, iron almost never crashes for me just the tabs become bloated with ram consumption
