Memory pressure is an interesting one, but given the full-featured JS engines on phones these days, I think its reasonable to assume a desktop developer (primary audience) has the capacity to run as many tabs as they want; and phones can definitely run things like gmail, which make -extensive- use of JS. Privacy wise, our security policy says we won't load JS from external sites, so there aren't random things happening - and not using JS doesn't save you from simple externally referenced webbugs, for instance. -Rob _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
