To test your browser try visiting this website: http://madewithpixlr.com/ For those that want to test, visit the website "A continuous feed of stellar photos we find online tagged #pixlr" linked above and hold down the END key. Watch the RAM climb and Chrome crash. IE11 and Pale Moon handle that website without crashing. Chrome (32bit or 64bit) crashes if one of the instances consumes more than 4GB of RAM. SRWare Iron or SlimJet - I cannot get either to crash on that website. I should point out that I have CleanMem running at all times. Also tested All Browsers Memory Zip but it appears not to offer any advantages when CleanMem is also being used.
Has anyone compacted the SQLite databases they use in Chrome with speedyfox. I would like to try doing this some day soon.
I didn't try speedyfox but did try option Compact databases in CCleaner. I didn't notice any difference. Now that I use SBIE I don't compact it any more...
I forgot about the compact option for chrome in ccleaner. I unchecked that a few years ago for some reason in ccleaner and forgot that it was there. That might do the same thing as speedyfox would do for chrome.
compacting a sqlite database in firefox is worth nuts. firefox is compacting itself nor has an external compacting tool any advantage - au contraire - firefox has more work on startup to recontruct its database for it needs - that slows down - i can see people crying "my firefox is so slow..." and it is possible to destroy its databases because firefox uses its own format - its a special compiled sqilte dll. same for ccleaner - absolutely dont do that. if you still had no damage you only had luck, no fortune. and i wont let ccleaner delete somethins in my profile - its a stupid cleaner programmed by people which dont have any clue about firefox internals. eg cleaning the cache will kick ass firefox to throw empty or faulty websites - it dont know about that action and that files will miss. ofc same for chrome or other browsers. in fact this can destroy a chromium profile immedeately because chromium stores hash numbers about its files. compacting - lol myth - anyone else who wants an alu helmet?
