“Aw, Snap! — Out of Memory”
What This Means (In Plain English)
Your browser ran out of memory and the page crashed. This usually happens when you have too many tabs open.
Common Causes
- •Too many browser tabs open
- •A web page using excessive memory
- •Too many browser extensions running
- •Not enough RAM on your computer
How to Fix It — Step by Step
- 1
Close tabs you are not using — each open tab uses memory.
- 2
Refresh the page that crashed.
- 3
Close and reopen your browser.
- 4
Disable browser extensions you do not use: browser settings > Extensions.
- 5
If this happens often, consider using a lighter browser or adding more RAM to your computer.
- 6
Clear your browser cache: Settings > Privacy > Clear Browsing Data.
How to Prevent This in the Future
Limit the number of open tabs to 10-15 at most. Close tabs you are done with instead of leaving them open.
