@FEichinger As bad as Firefox?
FEichinger

@TerryChia 'pparently, yes.

@RоryMcCune I have mentioned this 423543 times in here but I'll never use FF on a regular basis as long as tabs still live in the same process.

@TerryChia On the other hand, I'd like Chrome to be using less than three processes per tab ...
Oh, look, it's actually only two right now!

@TerryChia TBH I've only rarely had problems with rogue tabs taking out the browser, so that's not a huge issue for me, and the benfits outweigh the downsides (for me)

@RоryMcCune You have a JS blocker on right? I still run into broken JS regularly.

@TerryChia not JS in general but I run Ad Block Plus and Ghostery so a lot of trackers and stuff get blocked...

@RоryMcCune Ghostery probably cuts out a fair bit of crap.

@TerryChia yeah on some sites it'll be blocking 10+ items with all the associated JS that'll be loaded up...
apart from breaking Hipster @AviD 's site and the odd comments section it doesn't seem to have many downsides either...

@RоryMcCune I would think that breaking anything belonging to hipster @AviD is an upside. ;)

@AviD Yeah, that's the bit that's particularly valuable. If everyone has to update to the latest major version because you don't have multiple majors being supported for a given OS, you can't have the current mess of people who had to upgrade from XP/IE6 choosing Windows7/IE8. If an upgrade to Win7 meant IE11 full stop, a whole chunk of work for the UI/UX team where I work would disappear.
@AviD Ah., that's very interesting. That is not one of the effects I'd anticipated. Good to know, thanks. Do you know if they traced it back to SNI specifically, and not just general TLS/HTTPS overhead?

@Xander oops sorry, I meant human overhead, as in administration, not performance. but on actually giving it a thought, I realized I was talking about the vaguely related SAN, not SNI. Derp!
sorry about that.
SNI was actually offered as an alternative.

Hello, Internet.
@DavidFreitag Many newer Android phones/tablets actually do have USB host (including the ones you mentioned). You just have to get an adapter cable to expose it.

Works w/ my MotoX as well.

USB On-The-Go
USB On-The-Go, often abbreviated to USB OTG or just OTG, is a specification first used in late 2001, that allows USB devices such as digital audio players or mobile phones to act as a host, allowing other USB devices like a USB flash drive, digital camera, mouse, or keyboard to be attached to them. Use of USB OTG allows these devices to switch back and forth between the roles of host and client devices. For instance, a mobile phone may read from removable media as the host device, or present itself as a USB Mass Storage Device when connected to a host computer. In other words, USB On-The-Go...
