I sometimes see that too. Not sure how to address it though. Eventually, if the system runs out of memory, it will kill processes to free up some memory, and renderer processes are often good candidates.
However we could probably display a user-friendly message when that happens. This depends on bug #1375272. ** Changed in: webbrowser-app (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to webbrowser-app in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1378759 Title: Renderer often OOM-killed, need to reload the current page Status in “webbrowser-app” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: It often happens to me, especially when browsing websites heavy i images, that the renderer gets killed and I need to reload the page. It was even worse when the address bar was hiding as that resulted in the browser being unusable at all.
