So I started running the tests, current setup is:
- Xperia 10II, build 4.5.0.19
- Using the 4G to access internet (in case that has some influence).
- Browser has 0 active tabs.
- Only open apps are settings and browser.
- Browser is still default config, no change in the about:config.
- I installed Memory watcher | OpenRepos.net — Community Repository System following @karry 's tutorial Sailfish OS and memory :: karry.cz to check my peak memory usage.
I accessed the website Visual Studio Code March 2023 which has a surprising one shot one kill effect and always kills my browser when opened. It’s my first time ever visiting this specific page.
Bellow my “journalctl -f”, i pasted the “full” log here: Framapad annuel
As you can see I open the browser (which previously crashed) at 17:09:13:
Mai 06 17:09:13 Xperia10II-DualSIM dbus-daemon[5957]: dbus-daemon[5957]: [session uid=100000 pid=5957] Activating service name='org.sailfishos.browser.ui' requested by ':1.5520' (uid=100000 pid=25032 comm="/usr/libexec/mliteremoteaction org.sailfishos.brow" label="u:r:kernel:s0")
And 4 seconds later lowmemorykiller is killing stuff:

That’s the first information I found, I wonder what steps can I do next so we can get further on this topic ?
