I noticed new release of Abrowser (on Trisquel 5.5 amd64) fills all my RAM (about 6.5/8GB). Has anyone else the same problem?

I do not have this problem. It is using 110mb with 10 tabs open.

system ?

I can not really confirm it but it seems to be more resource intense then
using Firefox for example. At least on two older systems where I tried
Trisquel 5.5 lately.

@Kobe: Could you post the output of top when Abibrowser is running at your system ?

Kobe: try "about:memory" (Enter) in the address bar. It shows the memory consumption, and there's a "Minimize memory usage" button at the bottom.

I usually have around 100-150 tabs (subdivided into about 10 groups).

But Abrowser 11 didn't go over 1/1.5GB. Now, I think I solved by setting "Minimize memory usage" through about:memory.

Anyway, before do that, I print the complete output of about:memory when Abrowser took about 4GB: could this be useful? (it's the last part of about:memory).
