I log into a private page to check some statistics (stats/links/logs/etc.). I usually tab-click it to a background tab. It has quite a bit of data (but no animations/flash/JS), however while that tab loads in the background, Firefox is more or less frozen. It seems better in Windows but its pretty bad in Gnome. Although I haven't tested Opera in a while, Opera in Linux seems to do a much better job at loading those background tabs while keeping the browser responsive. It has improved, but it seems to me that has more to do with having a much better computer and internet connection now. Just my observations. -Mauriat -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
