Does the user close each Web page in their Web browser when navigating a Web site?

It would be more efficient if users would manually delete each Web page when they are done viewing it. Amazingly enough, mankind has survived well over a decade of Web use without this feature. You are, of course, welcome to write your own Web browser that forces people to close each Web page when they are done viewing it, so the browser can release cached information about that page (HTML, JS, CSS, images). That would be more efficient than existing browsers. And there may even be a market for that browser. However, I expect more people will stick with the existing model, because it is easier to use. Similarly, the core Android team is making a bet that users will prefer an OS that handles app cleanup itself, rather than one that forces a single-process paradigm or one that forces users to have to clean up all apps themselves. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com Android App Developer Books: http://commonsware.com/books.html
