#2Great news! Many thanks to Timothy Nikkel and all the other Mozilla devs. It's particularly great on Fennec, where the memory constraint is noticeable.
For people - like me - who didn't know what B2G was, it's Boot2Gecko, the OS project: https://wiki.mozilla.org/B2G/FAQ

Other than that, great news!

Technically it's 3D data, with the three axes being {Time, Memory Usage, Version}.
But I agree there may be a better way of visualising this data.

#8Sounds great - does anyone know how this compares to Chrome (both in terms of approach and results)?

On one hand true, on the other - it isn't that those fixes are some magic, extra smart hackery (at least on the idea level, dunno about the implementation). Don't load an image that user don't see, remove an image that user saw but don't see anymore - those seem as rather obvious solutions.

Yeah, and to cure cancer you just need to eliminate the bad cells without affecting the good cells. It's obvious.
