Why doesn't Firefox just make a separate process for each tab?

Why doesn't Firefox just make a separate process for each tab?

Furk. I can't tell you how many times a single website's Javascript fucked up my entire computer, forcing me to either restart or wait 10 minutes for Task manager to pop up.

If Firefox just changed to how Chrome processes webpages, then it'll go 10 times faster, because then priority can be given to the current tab opened.

This is in the pipeline but there's shit in the Firefox codebase that goes all the way back to Netscape 1.0. It takes time to clean up.

Too much memory overhead.

Isn't this already available on Firefox stable?

Spotted the error.

It's called Electrolysis

never had a problem where broken tab would crash entire browser

>because then priority can be given to the current tab opened
That's actually a really good idea. Chrome should do this too.

made me laff

Install NoScript

Master baiter.

>letting javashit run wild
noscript

>you have to disable all functionality that's useful just to get Firefox to not crash

No, that's gross.

It's better than letting Javascript running rampant and out of your control.

superior surf with dis/enable scripts keyboard shortcut does not have this problem

Which roughly translates to "rewrite the whole damn thing"
Which roughly translates to "its not really firefox anymore but some new abomination they just birthed out after scrapping and copypastaing _some_ parts of the original firefox"
...
Which roughly translates to "you dont really need to maintain your autistic loyalty to firefox anymore"
..
which means its finally time for me to find a new browser.. fuck.

Are you running on a pentium 4?

This. I have no idea how anybody can stand the internet without no script.

It's worth the hassle 100%.
