Elliot B. Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Let's say I about to run an intensive Flash game in a tab. When the game is loading, it freezes the entire browser until it's finished. This means I can't use other tabs whilst I wait. A message will pop up after 10 seconds or so informing me that I can stop the plugin or wait but that's no use. Is there any way to make the tabs more independent from each other, resource-wise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be watching a YouTube clip or another flash based movie/video, and the video will stall (page will freeze) for a few seconds and the video will continue. Funny thing is , I have no problem on my work system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon H Supervisor Posted October 3, 2014 Supervisor Share Posted October 3, 2014 this is one of the reasons other browsers such as Chrome have gone multi-process. so that if the content on a page freezes/crashes it won't bring down the entire browser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
