I visit a lot of sites, but only one - cluttered up everywhere wiht flash-based ads - seems to randomly yet consistently crash IE7. Of course it's always in the damn flash plugin it crashes too.
So now I'd like to block all the ads on that site since I'm tired of losing all my damn open tabs each time IE dies. Does anyone know off-hand if there is such a thing?
I'll go look myself on MS's plugin site, but last time I checked there wasn't all that much to choose from there. Kind of like people don't bother writing plugins for MS's monolithic monopoly-ware and doing free work.. HMM! Very strange! Seems to be basically thge same thing for MS's media player too I might add. Not anywhere near the same amount of plugins as with Winamp for example.
Seriously, I can't believe MS didn't give the option to restore tabs after a crash.. It's like they're doing the ostrich routine of pretending their software doesn't screw up.
I'm not really considering switching browsers. I tried firefox a month or two ago and it crashed just as much as IE due to flash content.
Even though it can restore last session it's STILL completely screwy graphics-wise and sucking tons of CPU as soon as any webpage shows something animated even if it's scrolled off-screen or minimized to the taskbar or in a background tab. A couple tabs like that and the whole PC's running like drenched in molasses. Not really a serious alternative IMO.
Can't be bothered with opera frankly because I believe it uses the same flash code as all other major browsers adobe supports and probably crashes just as much as everything else out there. How depressing.
...Yeah I could uninstall flash I guess. But there's just too many sites out there that depend on it these days so I'd feel crippled.
Peace.
