Wouldn't it be possible to only load the first few images of the page? And
load/remove the images as you scroll the page... Doesn't other mobile
browsers do this kind of stuff?

I can reproduce on krillin, with the latest vivid-proposed image (#184).
Relevant output from /var/log/syslog:

So technically, the browser doesn’t crash, but the renderer process is
being killed by the system to free up memory.
The browser should certainly display a user-friendly message when that
happens, instead of just a blank page (tracked by bug #1375272). However I
doubt you’ll ever be able to view that page in its entirety on this device,
given the memory constraints.

renderer process is killed on image-heavy pages on krillin
Status in Web Browser App:
Confirmed

Confirmed
Bug description:
On the BQ ubuntu phone, while browsing image-heavy pages, the browser
suddenly turns completely white and unresponsive. Closing the app and
restarting it fixes the problem.
example: I can't watch this page to the end, because the browser
crashes in the middle... https://imgur.com/gallery/NnGyq
I have this on a lot of websites, after browsing for 30 minutes, the
browser crashes...
