New tab page creates large IndexedDB databases |
||||||||||||||
Issue descriptionI open Chrome with new tab page on my Linux desktop and it creates 5.5MB of IndexedDB database. The database name is "https_www.google.com_0.indexeddb.leveldb". The database is cleared on closing the tab or if I open google.com. Digging into the code little, it seems to be opened by the ntp javascipt. Is this database for showing snippets? Do we need such a big database for showing snippets? Attached trace from my system that shows 5.5Mb in "leveldb" column.

Ping, is this expected?

Marc is still on vacation, but this is definitely not snippets/Zine, as that is not enabled on desktop.

Peter, who owns the Chrome Desktop NTP?

I have no idea. Kicking this up to Parisa in hopes she can reassign to the correct owner.

David, do you know who owns Chrome implementation of NTP? I believe it was done in collaboration with your team back then?

treib@ may be familiar with Desktop NTP. He is expected to be back 13th of January (Friday).

As per comment #3, this isn't Zine, but the same team happens to own the desktop NTP these days :) It is expected that there's an IndexedDB there (it caches the Doodle, among other things), but I don't know what its expected size should be. Since this memory is only used while the NTP is open, I'm decreasing prio here. We do have some bigger changes in the works which will make the whole IndexedDB unnecessary.

FYI, the plan is to switch to the "local NTP" (which doesn't use IndexedDBs at all) in M64.
