And yet, rewriting all of userspace is exactly what Android did, they
had the perfect opportunity of doing it right, but they came up with the

As for my laptop, I really would like the firefox guys to add a
'feature' that stops JS on non-visible tabs and preferably also drop all
data after a little while.

firefox is the #1 wakeup thing on my machine and its mostly invisible
(minimized) and when its not, I can only stare at a single tab anyway.
