https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/prac...assport-7.html

This is a nice user experience except that it seems to kill at least my windows 7 computer - with all browsers (firefox, chrome, explorer). Open the URL, let computer sit there for a while, and the memory for the browser goes up to as many gigs as the computer has (8). All browser extensions disabled...

Is there a way to change this through any setting to keep memory needs more in bounds ?
could it be the infinite scroll? in the other thread, a couple of people have mentioned it increases mobile data usage
