RAM usage/footprint

[serpico]

Description

I was browsing a particular user page, going down and down products and I noticed my laptop slowing to the point I couldn't do much.
Now I do have a quite a few tabs open ( 250+ ) but until a couple of weeks ago I had much more.

I was wondering if it could be the infinite scroll, if a particular user has a lot of products and we keep going back in time ( like 2-3 years back ), loading and loading...same goes for last products page if we load a lot of products I imagine...

@raphodn, you know how little I understand about the whole computer thing but I'll try to reproduce with another firefox profile on the same machine, with only one tab running prices.openfoodfacts.org and loading products with great abandon, see if there's a connection, if it's the same kind of RAM footprint...or not.

It's a good concern..

Most likely due to the infinite scroll indeed, that loads everything in the page, and keeps adding cards/tooltips for each new product..

In vuetify there is a component that could be useful here - https://vuetifyjs.com/en/components/virtual-scroller/#usage - but I'm not sure it works well with row/cols. I didn't try to implement it when adding the "infinite scroll" feature
