Haha, the irony.
- Zhenya 15y agoI dont think this is very ironic. IE9 is native to MSWIN and is written by the people who have the deepest knowledge of the operating system. They probably found this issue and fixed it before it was exposed to the other teams like Goog and Mozilla.
- guard-of-terra 15y agoI don't see how the deepest knowledge of Microsoft Windows would help them fight website memory usage issues. Those things are entirely unrelated. However the reported bug is non-trivial, therefore it would be very strange if it would manifest itself identically on different non-related browsers. They might all leak, but I doubt they all leak 1M for 22kb file.
- brudgers 15y ago>"non-related browsers" Chrome and Safari both use webkit. Of course that doesn't explain Firefox.
- guard-of-terra 15y agoAnd Opera (which is a "modern browser" too)
- mortehu 15y ago1 MB works out at 32 bits per pixel for a 512x512 image. The JPEG is probably not rasterized until it's viewed, which would explain why only an amount corresponding to the compressed image is leaked when the tab is hidden.
- valyala 15y agoIE9 also had this bug, but it has been fixed - see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=36142#c53 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=36142#c53
- code_duck 15y agoThe people with the deepest knowledge of the operating system are writing the operating systems (kernel, etc). I'm not sure what you mean by IE being 'native' to Windows. Regardless of what MS tried to pull 10 years ago, IE being included with Windows does not make it part what the rest of us call the OS. It's an application.
