My browser is behaving strangely, and I suspect it's hitting the limits

match my usage of the browser, but I'm a little bit blind regarding what
to change, and for what value. How would you proceed?
There's no log, but you might guess by watching top. Are you using firefox?
It handles low memory by segfaulting.
I'm using Chromium and Firefox, and mostly the problem with Chromium.
The default staff limit of 1.5GB is usually good for some basic text websites.
If you need to look at more complicated sites, you might try raising the limit
beforehand. I find 4GB (ulimit -d 4123123) to work reasonably well.
I will try that, thanks.
