Would it be wrong for Mozilla to swallow their pride and adopt V8 as their JS engine? I've gotten really sick of mem leaks slowing down my netbook to be completely unusable if I happen to visit certain sites. It's not that there's a ton of JS on the page; it's just that Firefox's engine doesn't handle leaks as well.
- khyryk 15y agoCould you give some examples? I have 2 HN, 3 YouTube, 1 Google Search, 1 python.org, 2 eBay, and 1 Gmail tabs open and memory usage is 300,000 kb. No one (who is reasonable) would have 30 tabs open on a netbook, so I'm not even considering that. Funnily enough, I have FF on my older laptop (dual core 1.2 gHz, 1.5 GB RAM) for blocking a bunch of useless scripts that slow me down and drain my battery.
