Hi again, Have you tried disabling the Flash plugin (and restarting Browser)? No, its not only flash related - although you're right flash seems to make crashes more frequently. e.g. today I tried to access gamil twice - soon after logging in opera crashed. I fired up minimo and everything worked fine. Some of the Flash content on the web is not really ... well ... No thats not how the rules are. Bad content may not crash applications, especially if you can't trust the guy how created the content. If a flash file is broken it may not be loaded, not crash the browser. And all the other crashes that happen from time to time, imagine your mobile would crash that often... lg Clemens - Eero PS. It's enlightening to run top when browsing the net with and without Flash enabled... ___ maemo-users mailing list maemo-users@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-users ___ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers

Hi, Some of the Flash content on the web is not really ... well ... No thats not how the rules are. Bad content may not crash applications, especially if you can't trust the guy how created the content. If a flash file is broken it may not be loaded, not crash the browser. What I meant is that some Flash content may happily (try to) consume 100MBs of RAM. I guess Flash and Opera deal with running out of memory OK, but Gtk (with which the application UIs are done with) most definately does not. For Gtk, the Glib allocations abort the process if Glib allocation fails[1] (and even if Glib alloc functions would be changed to return NULL when alloc fails instead of aborting, Gtk widgets don't have additional code to handle this gracefully[2]).
