I'm guessing Electrolysis will get some more loving once the panic of shipping Firefox 4 has abated.
- elgenie 16y agohttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrolysis is a chemical process that can be used to separate out elements -- picking that as a codename for splitting up tabs into processes seems reasonable.
