Install Scriptish Free and Open Source

Please keep working on e10s Mozilla!

By Erik Vold

Well it sounds like electrolysis (e10s) may be going by the wayside in Fennec 12, and never make it in to Firefox after all of those firefox developers telling addon developers to write e10s friendly code, and even forcing us to implement it in order to adopt Fennec. Which I happily did not long ago.

Now addon developers are being told that better performance gains can be had by focusing efforts in other directions (and that is probably the case), so e10s may be at best, put on hold.

So I’d like to make a plea for electrolysis; performance wasn’t the only benefit as I recall, security was a benefit, and the ability to kill long running processes was another, and I do want those benefits!

I want control even more than some performance gains.

If you agree then please make some noise.
