Ubuntu / Linux news and application reviews.



With the recent Windows 7 RC Release, Internet Explorer 8 received a pleasant improvement to its reliability on Win 7.

Basically, when one of the IE8 tabs crashes/hangs, user gets a choice on what to do with it (see screenshot).

As IEBlog states: “IE’s frame uses a timer, and if the tab doesn’t respond within a given interval of time, the frame gives the user the choice to recover the page, close the page, or wait for the tab to respond. If the tab responds on its own, IE takes down these choices.”
