it's not that type of leak that's the problem

It's the one that results in me having to kill firefox/thunderbird every so often to reclaim enough memory, page file space and CPU cycles to run other things. 250MB RAM yesterday, with only one instance and 5 tabs (all on a football news site). Been like that for years.

No Script . . .

The most important piece of software when browsing the web. Full stop.

Thank you Giorgio Maone!

The NoScript extension prevents chrome: URIs from being loaded as scripts in content pages, effectively making this bug unexploitable no matter if the page is trusted or not.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
