Webengine I believe is,

Mostly I use SeaMonkey and also Thunderbird, have to close Thunderbird if using Dooble but often keep SM open. I use NoScript in SM which helps keep the memory use down and more stuff to render.
Current memory with one tab in Dooble-Qt6, Thunderbird and SeaMonkey running,

I had this webeng build and upgraded to the latest which has no dldlevel datas
23/01/25 10:00    114 242 124      0 a---  Qt6WebEn.dll

Of course, no change on the memory problem.

I do not preload OpenOffice.
I open firefox or TB only when needed or going to check emails but have clamav with the latest compatible virus definition file (pretty old now) loaded

Note: i7 5775c 5th gen !

Other problem.

I've found a site making Dooble close each time!
process used:  (using duckduckgo as default search engine)
entre wuwt  into the link field + enter
duckduckgo opens and first found entry is whattsupwiththat.com
Clic on this first found entry and wuwt start to load....
Wait until end of load.... before the end, Dooble closes

Which version of Dooble are you using? In the upstream version 2025.02.08 Duckduckgo and Google were "removed".

As you could read from the post - (all QT6 6.2.x and Dooble at latest available build level), I already posted a screenshot with build version 

Duckduckgo and Google are only removed from been used by the url input link or browser direct search entries but it isn't if you go to duckduckgo or google site and issue a search. You have the same result in any cases and no need to use a search engine, just type in the direct link of the site.

Any idea how to go forward with this memory issue ?
As I wrote it, only the QT6 build has this problem. QT5 is ok

What to do with this ?
Have no knowledge.

[Paul Smedley]

The reality is that you have as much knowledge of the OS/2 API as I do.....

I only know Rexx programming and web php/html/css

[Remy]

How was the low shared memory use issue resolved under QT5 ?
was any changes introduced into QT6 which could impact spawn, parent etc... ?

Hello Dave

Thanks for the port. Here on the ArcaOS 5.1.1 VM seems to be working fine.

Regards

[David McKenna]

 Working well here too, thanks Dave!

@Martin - FYI, there was a reply and question from textbrowser to your request for a password repository on the Dooble github site that you never answered. Did you see it?

Regards,

[David Graser]

Thanks Dave.  This is the best working version yet.
