I don't know about memory, but I recently learned that IE has been using a separate process per tab (as Chrome does) since IE8, years before Apple added it in Safari 7. Been meaning to post this link: <http://www.hanselman.com/blog/MicrosoftIE8AndGoogleChromeProcessesAreTheNewThreads.aspx> Back on the memory topic: if web sites are going to routinely leak massive amounts of memory, regardless of who's to blame, I'd like browsers to let me put a cap on how much memory each tab uses. Kind of like the old days of Classic Mac OS, when we could limit the amount of memory each application could use. --Andy _______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list MacOSX-talk@omnigroup.com http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
