        @tatonuta developers are fully aware of the issues with both browsers and they're trying to fix them.

        The plan is to move to browser-ng (WebBrowser Next, running on QtWebEngine) asap.

        Developers are using the devel channel mainly but the testers group is using both devel and rc to find issues and report them to the developers.

        If you find any issue that's not in the bug tracker, please file a bug report.

          Same problems here. BQ Aquaria E 4.5. Old browser, new browser. Jade Diamond browser is the best boet also unusable.
          16.04 rc now
          Somai other strange behavior. Open a new window browser. Close it. Then both windows disepear. Starting the browser again, it start with 2 Windows. So you can't lose one windows. From won it always starts with two.
          You can change this bij editing the setting. Do not start with the past session.

          BQ Aquaris E4.5
          Pixel 3a XL on Focal which realy rocks!

            As all users. I have so tested all what's can be i think.

            The conclusion in two parts is implacable :

            *** There is no magic solution ! ***
            *** Be patient ! ***

            Vivid works well and is reliable yet. Or we can use Xenial with the old browser who crash in some websites but not to much. Or, we can use two phones if it's possible, one Vivid with the essentiel dekko and the other Xenial to make tests. I do that.

            I can imagine how strong developers work to built a solid Xenial foundation.

              @domubpkm you're absolutely right. Also using uAdBlock helps a lot to render web pages fast and easily

                  for the Std browser a workaround :
                  Delete everything except : index and index-dir
                  in /home/phablet/.local/share/webbrowser-app/Service Worker/ScriptCache/

                  Then the app seems to not crash anymore on the website.

                  Thanks to FreeInside

                        @ernest I have just found a workaround that i didn't have tested and it's work FOR THIS sport site, i don't know for others :

                        OPEN THE SITE IN A PRIVATE TAB and it doesn't crash not at all or it's take a long time to crash.

                                  @mihael Yeah, I know, have the same probs. We need to wait for the Browser Next to get the fix and become the default Browser and then the webapps would use it and hopefully not crash anymore 🙂

                                    @stefano If I try browser next for maps.google.com, the browser doesn't access the gps... But the page doesn't crash - that is promissing.
