[...] Also in our alpha release is electrolysis. Doug T showed me some side-by-side comparisons of mobile Web browsers with and without electrolysis running. Pretty freaking amazing if you ask me. (Electrolysis was first used in desktop Firefox to protect against plugin crashes. Firefox for mobile has now extended this technology to all Web content, and all web content will execute in a separate process from the main application.) With electrolysis, we see increased stability, enhanced performance and optimized security. Seriously, read Mark Finkle’s blog post on this bad ass technology. [...]

I love Fennec on my N810!!! I’ve been using the nightlies (which I think are weeklies now). Can’t wait to see the final release… and hopefully a better implementation of cut+paste. By the way, kudos on adding the “print to PDF” feature!

@habeed – The Layers project I describe will be the key to getting Flash, and other plugins, the work better in Fennec. Although, I have seen that Flash itself is a dog on many mobile devices.

@Tom Chiverton – Startup time is something we care a lot about. One trick we have not used yet, but are planning to use for 2.0, is a background daemo process. It would keep much of the browser loaded, but not visible. When the user wants to open the browser, much less work is needed and the browser “appears” to open faster. This is exactly the technique Opera and MicroB use.

Which mobile platforms will be supported in the Fennec 2.0?
Any news or changes in comparison with current version?

Thanks,
Mike

exactly. there’s no need for fennec on N900 if it is unusable. I have only had bad experiences with it. even the built in stuff like veawe didn’t work even when I’ve already managed to get them work on a PC.

you are wasting time if the overall speed wont get at least twice or more as fast as now. The UI idea is great though, too bad that it cant be used with MicroB since it is pointless on Fennec.

improve it or drop it…
