Microsoft working on new Gazelle browser for better protection from security for web apps and tab crashes

Post by **froggyboy604** » Wed Jul 08, 2009 9:33 pm

The Gazelle Browser is being develop by Microsoft will protect Web Application programs from each other, and isolate browser tabs from each other like Google Chrome, so if one tab on your browser crashes it will not crash the whole web browser. It will just crash the one open tab that crashed while leaving the other tabs alone.

Gazzelle will not replace Internet Explorer.

"We're really trying to leverage the decades of operating system experience and apply that in the Web and browser setting," Wang said. Wang a MS employee.

Gazelle is currently slower then IE 8 espiecally when opening new pages.

Cnet

This sounds interesting, but if it is slower then IE I think most people will stick with IE 8 since Vista have more Features then XP, but UAC (those pop-up notification windows) made a lot of people annoyed and is slower then XP.

I see them trying to replace the fail browser, but making another one? They really are copying firefox.

IE 8 been running fine on my computer. Though, I use Avant Browser which is a modified version of IE 8. I think MS should just focus on one browser instead of two.

I suppose since mozilla can make two I guess MS felt they could too.

Ah yes. I remember Mozilla Browser. It was before FireFox. Mozilla was a strange browser. I never got used to.

I think there are already enough browsers these days.

I think there are like 6 or 7 of them, I did something on browsers for my computer class and I think I found up to 7 images of different browsers.

NO, firefox does not have the same level as security as gazelle, chrome is close but still not on the same level.

In my own usage browser speeds in order fastest > slowest on win32
Chrome, avantbrowser, ie8, ie7, couple minutes later fatfox comes to the party
Opera i don't use enough to care

but thats just my experience therefore my opinion (irrespective of how accurate it is) is just that.

Security wise i would pick Avant over IE and IE over Fat fox.

fatfox is seen as "cool" and was designed to compete with ie6 which while less secure is still preferable to fatfox.
