RE: Browsers
(09-30-2010, 10:46 AM)HiddenKnowledge Wrote: I like that they keep tabs in one process, actually. Process isolation is developed largely due to security measures: More limitations can be set on individual tab processes to minimize the damage of an attack, in case there's a security hole in the browser. It reduces the risk of a total browser crash or freeze caused by one specific tab, thus making the browser more stable, as well. (Another benefit is you can view how much memory a tab uses. Not particularly valuable a feature, practically, but it satisfies our curiosity.) I don't see a reason why it could be a bad thing. And process isolation is in Firefox roadmap already, since a year ago. Sooner or later, you won't be able to have all tabs in a single process. :) http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2009-0...processes/ https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Featur..._Isolation https://wiki.mozilla.org/Electrolysis

No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. -- Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions (1624), John Donn |
