Hi, this is a neat idea, and everybody would like the whole brower not to crash when flash does so, but there's two problems: - For now we have more than enough to do just to be feature-complete (compared to ephy/gecko). There's a lot to do and not that many contributors. - Doing one-process per tab requires major changes both in WebKit (although I guess we could take code from Chrome) and epiphany, so it's something that needs to be analyzed carefully. >From my side, I'll think about it when ephy/webkit is usable and relatively bug-free, but no promises :) Cheers, Xan > > I currently use ephy 2.22 as my main browser and I plan to follow epiphany > past > the gecko migration and into webkit territory.
