How to control memory usage in Vivaldi
-
@luetage Allergic to truth, huh? If you say mean arrogant things about other people, don't be surprised if you get called out for it. If you don't like that, then stop patronising & putting down others.

i hope in future Vivaldi will provide a tab-state control feature, to see which tabs are in which state. tab hibernate is good, but kinda not practical as one can't see a visual difference between anything apart from current tab. tabs from last session, background tabs, suspended tabs - they all look the same, making little point in hibernating, as few minutes later one easily "opens" same tab by accident.
yet there is no Chromium-based browser to have Visual Settings of Tab States and no extension, so Vivaldi could become a pioneer!
-
I can only talk for me, but it never ever happend, that a single tab could closed by me, because it hang up. Always the whole browser froze so that I have to close and reopen it (not only Vivaldi, also other chrome clones). It's not a pity, because the whole session was re-enabled, but this one-tab-per-process never gave an advantage to me. So happened to me again some days ago.
Fortunately it doesn't occur very often, that a tab is so jealous to me ;)the integrated taskmanager is more helpful for me.

Other investigation of Vivaldi's memory:
https://github.com/WillyYu/vivaldi_1.9_SoftwareImageDecodeCache
This investigation is a little old, which based on Vivaldi 1.9.
But it should be same as latest version, mainly based on Chromium's architecture.

@derday yes, to me the whole argument about single process being good for crashes is utter rubbish!
-
it never seems to work with a crash the way Chrome fans say it should
-
Opera Presto was never crashing anyway, so it's not even an important issue!

@regnas: I'm assuming the tabs automatically hibernate. You should this
Disable this:
vivaldi://flags/#automatic-tab-discarding
Enable this:
vivaldi://flags/#enable-non-validating-reload-on-normal-reloadHope it works :)

I'll give it a go, thank you very much... ✌

Disable Hardware Acceleration it is buggy in Chromium based browsers (it cripples lower power PCs, both the browser & PC). I have seen it on over 60 Windows machines where disabling Hardware Acceleration improved performance and lowered RAM usage.

@helmers: I have seen that a lot where the main page is fine but a few of the ads are memory hogs and cause CPU spikes
-
Deactivating the Update advisor, which remains resident in memory even with closed Vivaldi can also release some memory on PC with limited resources, although then you have to look manually if there is any update available.

Great post, tackles things I did not even imagine was going through a browser.
-
@supermecha I cannot find the #enable-non-validating-reload-on-normal-reload flag. Do you know if it's still relevant?
Thanks!

Do ad blockers lessen the size of the page in Vivaldi, or do they do their filtering after the code is loaded?
0MX-17.1 Linux (debian 9.3 stable) x64, Xfce. Current Vivaldi stable . C2D 2.8ghz; 6GB RAM; SSD

@paul1149 Adblockers block the sources, that means the page that is actually loaded in the browser becomes smaller, but they use resources themselves. If you really want to block efficiently, you should edit your hosts file on operating system level.
