    Anyone else having this issue, I have one computer dedicated to adsbexchange in my ham shack, and as a ham operator and an Aircraft mechanic, I like watching these maps, and as a Marine, I like seeing Military flights as well, so I have one computer just for this, but no matter what computer or which browser (mostly use google Chrome) ever 10 minutes I get this page that I have attached, then I have to reload the map and set all the settings again.

    Is there a way to stop this......I shouldnt have to reload every 10 minutes

    Don't zoom out so far? :)

    I'm really not sure where the issue comes from.
    Just for kicks, what are the settings you use?

    I dont zoom all that much, I just look at the United States for the most part, and the only "setting" I use is just clicking the "U" for Military Flights.........

    Well i don't know why it would be an issue.
    I can do exactly the same and it runs just fine.

    At some point there will be a different method for separating the military flights server side, that will probably help a bit.

    I even had this issue before the tar1090 map, even at work on work computer

    That's a different issue.

    Could mean you don't have enough RAM / memory available for Chrome.

    As i said will likely be better after some changes so it doesn't load as much data when filtered for military.

    What you could try is restarting chrome:
    chrome://restart

    Just reloading the page might not free the memory ....

    I restart constantly, do regular windows updates and reboots often, You trying to tell me that a 2Tb hard drive and 16Gb of RAM IS NOT enough to run this program ?

    No clue what the issue is then. Try Firefox ;)

    Really impossible to debug that issue for me.
    It's more like the browser is crashing, the page is just exposing a particular problem with the browser.

    Me and someone else have tried to run it in chrome, and it's just fine after 10 minutes watching the same area as you are.

    One thing besides Firefox, try disabling all addons, you never know what those do or what their interaction with pages is.

    Try running through these to see if you can pinpoint the cause....

    Hardware acceleration and the antivirus software have been the biggest culprits for me in the past with an unruly chrome extension coming in third.

    YMMV, but worth exploring.

    I have noticed.......and THANK YOU to all those involved, i had it running for 3-4 hours last night, and left it running when I went to bed, and it was still working normally, and is still going as of right now WITHOUT crashing !!
