Opening up conversation on browser interrogation tools with Browser Memory Tool Prototype on Dion Almaer's Blog

by oseres

Do you sometimes feel like the browser is a black box? We are building richer and richer applications on the Web platform and this means that developers are running up against new issues to debug and test. We feel like it is a great time to develop new tools that afford you the ability to look into the runtime to hopefully help you find a bug, or allow you to keep your application as responsive as possible. Today we want to start a conversation about some of our thinking, with the hope that you will join in. We have been taking a hard look at the tools landscape, and here is a presentation that gives you an idea of our thinking:

Mon collègue Stuart 'Pavlov' Parmenter vient de publier un très long billet sur la consommation de mémoire des navigateurs, et de Firefox 2 et 3 en particulier. Il explique comment Mozilla a travaillé pour réduire la consommation de mémoire de Firefox. Je vous fait grâce des détails, et je résume les points clés en fin de billet.

» Memory test - Firefox 2.0.0.9 vs Firefox 3.0 b 1 | Hardware 2.0 | ZDNet.com

This is interesting. Initially it seemed that Firefox 3.0 beta 1 was consuming more memory than 2.0.0.9, but during the twelve page test I started seeing what I’ve been seeing before - spiraling memory consumption when the browser is under significant load. I’m certain that if the browser had been left open longer, memory usage would have continued to rise. I didn’t see much signs of Firefox 3.0 beta 1 doing this. Certainly based on this test and from using Firefox 3.0 beta 1 today, I do think that things have significantly improved.
