    long time lurker first post lol hi admins! Love the forum, reporting a bug. Every time i open the search rseults page in Chrome on a tablet, teh tab dies with this.

    reloading sometimes works, sometimes not... other sites are fine. I can try other settings or browsers if it helps narrow it down... thx for all the work u put into this place... let me know what else would help. im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    on living room media box, memory is often the real limit. closing other tabs before opening heavy pages helps, but a page that needs that much memory is worth reporting either way. hope that helps :)

    for the admins, the most useful info is: brwoser version from the About page, the exact URL type, roughly how many posts or images were on the page, and whether it hapepns in a guest window too.

    been there man try turning off hardware acceleration in the browser settings, restart teh browser and test again. GPU driver issues can crash renderer processes on image heavy pages.

    ok so aw, Snap! uusally means the tab ran out of memory or a renderer process crashed. Open the browsers task manager (Shift + Esc in Chromium browsers) while loading the search results page and watch the memory column. lmk how it goes

    hmmmm not sure about that im on Safari too and cant reproduce it on a desktop. Might be device specific rather than a site bug, but still worth fixing.
