The browser simply disappears like a crashing app and is to be restarted. By chance I discovered 7000 and 3000 history entries of my two most popular technical sites now. So I deleted them by "settings -> data protection -> delete browser history" in the webbrowser app. Since then the browser has no crashes at the second tab. (Site opening from twitter to webbrowser app doesn't work today, maybe another issue, so I cannot test it.) And it reacts much faster. So the bug could be solved - but:
I have the phone since 6 months but this could only be the history of the last month. Is there a mechanism which deletes history entries older then one month? So for me this is too late because I'm a heavy browser user and read almost everything over the day on my phone. Possible solution: So maybe 1-2 weeks of history should be enough. (In relation: More important would be caching of more then two tabs, this is a really annoying decision and reported from me in Bug #1446904 "browser is limited to 2 live webviews" ). -- 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/1495314 Title: Crash when opening second site via new tab overview (favourites,popular sites,links from other apps) Status in webbrowser-app package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I open a site and then the new tab section the browser in 80% of cases is crashing when I open there a favourite or a popular site link. Same behaviour when I open a link via email app Dekko or webapp in the browser while it is running with one or more tabs. BQ 4.5 with newest updates (without apt-get "hack"). Problem is since some months. Latest time in channel rc-proposed but now since weeks in stable, too! I saved my "old" home and browser profile. But I don't want to delete my favourites. Maybe the problem is deeper in programming. I have some dozen of links saved.
