Firefox To Get Multi-Process Browsing

Posted by Soulskill on Wednesday July 8, 2009 @05:17AM from the multi-fox dept.

An anonymous reader writes with news that multi-process browsing will be coming to Firefox. The project is called Electrolysis, and the developers "have already assembled a prototype that renders a page in a separate process from the interface shell in which it is displayed." Mozilla's Benjamin Smedberg says they're currently "[sprinting] as fast as possible to get basic code working, running simple testcase plugins and content tabs in a separate process," after which they'll fix everything that breaks in the process. Further details of their plan are available on the Mozilla wiki, and a summary is up at TechFragments.

Are you kidding? This is the Firefox dev team. Of course they won't. They'll say it's impossible, and call you an idiot for even thinking of suggesting something like that. Not until someone Microsoft or Google does it, will they feel any need to implement something so useful.
