This is still the current behaviour. We could implement a smarter mechanism that unloads background tabs only under memory pressure.

It's not the same but similar to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/webbrowser-app/+bug/1268055 But while this bug is a wishlist for me this behaviour is very unhandy and annoying: This is very bad because you run more fast then necessary into the traffic limit of your UMTS provider. And when it is a limited speed it takes really really long to load the other tabs again and again when you have to often chance between them. In combination with other (maybe unreported until now) bugs it is more bad than this because I have to load the site a while and then stop it because advertisement blocks the view of the website until I stop it - or wait until 30s again for nothing (ads). How should it work: For example my opera mini on my old andoid device with only 256 MB RAM works much better then this browser with 1 GB RAM on Ubuntu phone - but this can chance. There I can open 50 tabs or more and no tab have to reload! How could it solved: Maybe there's the possibility for a new option in the optional configuration file for a bigger cache size, a tab number limit or something like this. I have enough RAM but no time and traffic for reloading again and again. Please help as soon as possible. I used stable and vivid-proposed channel on a BQ phone with all Updates.
