Appear to have memory leak in browser.open #74

Open washad opened 7 years ago

(Really nice product, btw - thanks for your effort).

I have an operation in which I set a value via 'post' then wait for the web page to reflect the response. Inside a while loop I place a call to browser.open(url), check, then sleep for 5-seconds. I've profiled this with psutils, measuring memory use per call, each call increases my memory use by about 1Mb until eventually bringing down my application.

Cheers

Same case here. Persistant call to open method gives a out of memory. I fixed it with gc.collect(), but is not elegant or eficient

Have you tried setting history=False in the constructor?

Tried using gc.collect which didn't help. But setting history to False fixed it!
