Microsoft's Skydrive sends two million NULL characters

They said so in the post: “We should fix that”.

There are other browsers out there that have the same problem regarding tabs, namely Firefox. A misbehaving tab causes the whole browser to stall and you can't even kill that single tab. So Opera isn't alone in that regard.

I thought Firefox had already isolated tab processes a couple releases ago?

They isolated plugins (like Flash), but the project for tab process - called Electrolysis - was put on hold last year.

Nope. The major fix that they did was to eliminate memory leaks in extensions when the user closes a tab.

no, there is still no meaningful isolation in that regard.
