LADIES imagine this. it's 10 years ago — you've left a document open in your word processor, and you don't even notice because it's not eating EVERY LAST % OF CPU GOOD LORD GOOGLE DRIVE

@rowan heh, rust temple is hot now and I constantly have to remember to turn off firefox, sitting in the background, eating half my cpu and cooking my laptop. Blender is relatively lighter than a fricken' web page

@rowan Imma start running firefox from a terminal so I can ctrl-Z it

@bkurdali ohhh hmmmmmmmm

@rowan sadly that doesn't seem to work (just tested) I bet there's some kind of forking/child process thing

@bkurdali @rowan bind a keybinding to xkill or xkill -9

@rowan @bkurdali It's not for a lack of trying on the browser's part. Both Gecko & WebKit have strict policies that their browser engines must never get any slower, and they measure it.

But I do suspect it comes in large part from browsers trying to cater to every usecase.
