Memory limit

I’ve noticed that the maximum memory has been reduced to 256MB. Above this results in a error (memory allocation error -22).
Previously I could run this up to 1GB. I’m guessing something has been changed in a recent code update.
Is it possible to return to a higher memory potential? Argon2 is frequently used at 512MB or higher as it results in a 1 second calculation time on a native implementation.

Hi! I just tested it, memory up to ≈2GB works for me in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox. Also added a test for it and I see that it's passing on CI: https://github.com/antelle/argon2-browser/runs/1545181588
How do you see that memory is limited to 256MB?

Hi. You are correct. I just tried it on Safari and Firefox and works fine.
I previously tried it only on the DuckDuckGo browser on iOS, which worked fine before but not in the past few days. There was a recent update to that browser so I suspect that is causing the problem.

Does it work on https://antelle.net/argon2-browser/ in that browser?

Just tried it, it works in this browser: screenshot.
