If their description is correct, this has absolutely nothing to do with running scripts in the background.
Also, they are warming the tab when you are hovering over it. If you are just opening up a link in a new tab and not switching to or not coming close to switching to it, it will not 'pre-warm' anything.
- ClassyJacket 9y agoAh. I almost exclusively switch tabs with a trackpad gesture, so this won't help in that case. That being said, switching between tabs hasn't generally been slow for me. Clever optimisation tho.
- cryptonector 9y agoCan't render without loading. I want loading deferred. I want scripts deferred. On first click of tab, load, and no earlier.
- dao- 9y agoTab warming is only about rendering. A tab that hasn't loaded won't be "warmed".
- cryptonector 9y agoObviously loading is implied.
- dao- 9y agoLoaded is implied, loading is not. I'm not speculating here; I'm a front-end engineer for Firefox and have seen the patches in question.
