Those kind of things are typically bugs in QtWebKit, the underlying rendering engine - not in qutebrowser itself. What Qt version are you using? (See :open qute:version). There was an issue regarding extreme memory consumption fixed with Qt 5.4.2 - so if you're on that or something newer, I have no idea how this happened. I'm sorry I can't help you much - things hopefully will get a lot better in the future with the QtWebEngine/Chromium backend: https://github.com/The-Compiler/qutebrowser/issues/666 Florian -- http://www.the-compiler.org | [email protected] (Mail/XMPP) GPG: 916E B0C8 FD55 A072 | http://the-compiler.org/pubkey.asc I love long mails! | http://email.is-not-s.ms/
