    Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari And Possibly Opera, Affected By Memory Leak

    Google Chrome, Firefox, Safari And Possibly Opera, Affected By Memory Leak

    According to TNW, Internet Explorer is the only modern web browser (Opera was not tested due to temporary issue with the test page) that is not affected by the recently found memory leak.

    One of the developers has created a test site with the Google’s App Engine to demonstrate the issue.

    Once the site is back online, users can reproduce the bug by following these steps:

    - Request an image from a server.
    - Image result contains “Cache-Control: no-store”.
    - Display the image.

    Instead of freeing allocated memory, none of the tested web browsers did that. Here are his tests results:

    Safari 5: Failed
    Firefox 4.x: Failed
    IE 7/8/9: Passed

    As THB said, No-Store attribute was created so browsers would not store image on the local disk. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Furthermore, it looks like the issue is not OS related and was confirmed by both Windows and Linux users.

    So here you have it folks, today Microsoft has a good reason to smile about.

    Over on the Internet Explorer Blog, Microsoft has posted results from an extensive comparison of the top five Web browsers. The goal: to determine whether Internet Explorer 9, Firefox 4, Chrome 10, Safari 5, or Opera 11 is able to squeeze the most life out of your laptop's battery.

    A baseline was determined with test systems sitting idle, and then browsers were pointed at about:blank, a news site, the HTML5 Galactic demo, and the IE9 fish tank demo. Perhaps unsurprisingly, IE9 came out on top -- though Firefox 4 was a very close second on nearly every test. As you can see, the other browsers didn't necessarily fare quite as well, with Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera all posting significantly worse scores. In Opera 11's case, a laptop battery would last over one hour more with Internet Explorer 9 installed.

    But what we'd really like to know is where did Microsoft find the dilithium crystals required to run a Galactic Total Power Consumption test...
