It's all well, and good that they're investigating windows security issues but I would like them to solve some of the memory leak problems with flash. On an older version of Fatdog64, the flash in rockradio.com is freezing my system if left unattended for a few hours. I wonder, is there a way to restrict the amount of ram that a browser can use and automatically kill the process if the browser uses too much ram?
I have a newer version of fatdog64 running on a virtual machine. Since I only gave the virtual machine 2gigs of ram I don't think I'll install chrome on the virtual machine.
Hmmm...I saw a chrome extension mentioned on the hackernews that might help:

but I think it only stops idle processes. I also should check that I'm blocking nuisance sites since the memory leaks could be coming from a script that one of their advertisers is running.

I used it with the hardened release of tor-browser that is glutinous for RAM.
It did its job perfectly for me.
Thankyou. I'll give it a tryScooby wrote:You could check out https://github.com/rfjakob/earlyooms243a wrote:...
