There currently is a hardcoded limit of two live tabs. When opening a
third tab, the webview for the least recently consulted tab is destroyed
to free up memory. This limit could probably be made a configurable
setting, and ideally we shouldn’t have to do that at all, but we’re
currently hitting an issue where the system’s out-of-memory handler
tends to select the process for the current tab when killing processes
to release memory, having the undesirable effect that the current tab
goes blank. There needs to be a way for oxide to instruct the system
about which renderer process to kill first.
** Summary changed:

+ browser is limited to 2 live webviews
** Changed in: webbrowser-app
Status: New => Confirmed
