I'm sure this house arrest type thing is no fun even if you don't have strong symptoms and can continue working...

yeah, but it is still far better than in government facilities. besides I got somewhat stronger common cold symptoms (cough when breathing and speaking, I have to tolerant this situation since there has no Codeine cough syrup to treat this symptom effectively)

Oh, absolutely!, I didn't mean to downplay anything, sorry if it sounded that way. Like I said, best wishes towards your speedy recovery!

no problem!

 

BTW I just broke one of pad arms of my glasses when I tried to clean it up with a wipe and have to use twist tie to do a quickfix for the moment. Still have to fill a prescription after I release from quarantine order and thousands dollars are needed for a pair of new glasses, sigh.

The multi-processor mode should be added to about:preferences with a checkbox or slider for the number of processes. When I install the browser onto another computer, I would like to enable it without searching the Web for the variable names. Currently, configuring the browser is a very involved process. After some time, you forget the tweaks you're relying upon.

Update to the latest Serpent in-place gone well, all settings retained.

I've heard the opposite: that you needed a good computer to use multi-process, but it is actually very helpful with a "slow" CPU. I'll be damned top of the line Core Duo is now "slow".

The case where multi-process can't help is when I want to click on a control on a page. For example, I want to stop a video playing, to load the rest of the page, and not rob resources from the process. The settings should have a human-readable checkbox for "automatically play media".

It seems to work. I see several processes of Basilisk running. Further testing is needed to determine if there are disadvantages.

There are extensions that don't work with multi-process.

Mozilla eventually added a dropdown and exception list for that in their browser, Basilisk seems to be stuck in the past though.
