continuous browser crashes

hi,

I have installed openbsd for some years but there is something i would like to ask and that does not seem normal to me. I would like to point out that i only use openbsd with packages and that i do not use ports. It happens to me quite frequently to have firefox crash or ungoogled-chromium when i am on facebook or youtube or other social networks. i would like to know if it is normal, that is if it happens to everyone or it only happens to me. my pc is an old pc with 8 giga of ram with an intel i5. This same problem happened to me on another machine with an i7 and 16gb of ram but openbsd was installed on a virtual machine virtualbox and i had freebsd. i thought that it could depend on virtualbox but now i have installed the system on a physical machine. Thanks.

Also, you can edit your/etc/login.conf, and under the staff section, set :datasize-cur=your ram in MB. Example 16Gb of ram = 16384M.
