I don't understand. Why they improved javascript proccesing? Shouldn't be already as improved as firefox's since they use the same engine?

Same engine, yes; same engine version, no.

I'm just waiting for it to reach Gentoo's portage tree. I hope they won't inherit all downsides of FF. Once FF was meant to be a browser part only, taken out of the Mozilla suite, people said Moz. was bloated. But I guess over time FF is now bloated while I found the pure browser part of SM to be quite ok.

Why is FF bloated? I admit you can bloat him by adding thousands of add-ons. But by default why?

Because it takes a huge amount of RAM, crashes often, leaks memory?

Firefox is bloated, but unfortunately it's the only browser for Linux that doesn't totally suck. We're stuck with it :p

Opera's not that bad, either.

That doesn't cut it. AdBlock Plus is more than just a list.
