Multiprocess Firefox For Better Security And Performance

Internet Explorer 8 was the very first web-browser to utilize separate processes followed by Google Chrome, the separation of UI and multiple “content” processes to host web-content results in better security and performance. Using separate content processes allows them to be properly sandboxed enhancing security and will also result in better UI responsiveness as the browser UI would not be affected by poor performance of content processes.

Although the underlying Gecko platform on which Firefox runs supports multiple processes, the Firefox frontend is not designed to use them. Work to make the frontend support multiple processes began in early 2013, and fruits of the work are now available in Nightly builds of the browser. The new multi-process Firefox will make it a more stable web-browser, a crash in “content” process will not kill the entire browser and will show something like below telling which tab crashed allowing them to be reloaded.

Dispatch Proxy Allows Users To Share Multiple Connections On Windows, Linux And Mac

Why prioritize one internet connection over another when we can enjoy all at the same time!! By design the core TCP/IP technology only allows us to utilize a single interface for connecting via internet at a time, there is no provision for combining bandwidth of two interfaces to achieve higher speeds. A new technology named Multipath TCP is now available which allows connections to use multiple paths for maximizing resource usage and increase redundancy but is only supported by modified Linux Kernel and Apple iOS 7 for now. However, a new open-source project allows users to enjoy similar benefits using a simple local proxy service.

New easy-to-use, cross-platform (Windows, Mac, Linux) 'dispatch-proxy' project aims to fill this gap allowing users to benefit from combined bandwidth and redundancy of multiple internet connections at the same time by automatically load balancing traffic between multiple connections channels. Simply follow the setup instructions as shared below and you will be using this in less then 10 minutes.
