Just like Chrome had a whole thing about process isolation to avoid crashing the entire system, it would be quite excellent if they could figure out how to effectively update at a tab-based level. New tab? Get the newest Chrome in the tab.
Obviously would be quite frustrating to debug a thing only to realize tab A is version 1 and tab B is version 2 of course. And it seems like it would require a massive amount of effort. Would be cool though!
- smallnix 3y agoDoesn't chrome also put tabs into "standby" (i.e. kill them) by default? Then this would update most tabs for most users.
- jokethrowaway 3y agoWhy not update all tabs at once then? The key feature would be to maintain the exact state of a tab between process restarts. Then they could restart the whole browser without the user noticing
