Comment on UC Browser 2.7 For Windows Phone Released by Przemysław Lib
Of course its SLOWER. How can it be otherwise? No JIT == no fast JS. No threads == no fast rendering engine. No C++ == inability of using ready engines from “desktops” or even from Android. The BEST...

It do not make sense. Not when you have 8 cores + HT == 16 “workable” cores. We have reached the end of what single core can boost, now gains in that regard comes out of better manufacturing (smaller...

I agree with the JIT argument. JS can’t be as fast as on desktop if there’s no JIT compiler. The threads I disagree with. You don’t need a bucket load of threads for an engine to be fast. It’s a can of...

Hyper-Threading only allows programs to ‘see’ 16 hardware threads. It may or may not be a good thing. It’s extremely difficult to spread CSS (in your example) across multiple cores. The point I was...

HT actually allow for executing multiple instructions on same execution pipeline. And read article. They aim at splitting whenever possible. I mean less power needed to for operation of gates

You NEED one thread for handling user input. Second for painting on the screen. Than you can have tabs in separate threads. You can have plugins in separate threads. Etc. Lots of use for lots of...

I didn’t say you CAN’T have threads, I was just saying you don’t need a whole lot of them for a fast rendering engine. If an app isn’t written in C++ they’re all at the “same disadvantage”. Other than...

Why use Firefox when you can use Google Chrome? Its more light weight and you dont have to worry about memory leaks. Plus chrome packs more features. Yeah, I dont understand how anyone is using Firefox...

Use IE we call them fool, use Firefox we call them outdated, so Google Chrome is treadly. and we think it can kill other browser? no way, Google Chrome is very good but not the classic. People always...

What I’m hinting at is that increase of number of cores (and shrinking manufactury process) will be a way to increase performance. So if we put JS/HTML/CSS in their own threads on their own cores we...

:D Did not know about Opera Mini. So they put engine outside of the box :) Anyway. To make modern (fast!) rendering engine you need a lot of specialized (and potentially harmful, or energy inefficient)...

An API allows external applications to interact with that application. Nothing to do with being “energy inefficient”. Some of Microsoft’s APIs are quite restricted and it does put them at a...

More cores =/= better performance, it’s also about how well they can scale on their own and when they’re workig with other cores. You’ve changed your argument slightly. You suggested splitting CSS over...

“Its more light weight and you dont have to worry about memory leaks” And it uses three times the memory of FF on the same 10 sites. Hell yeah!

I meant in general, which is why I referred to it as the “Windows platform”.

There’s no UC Browser for other Windows. And AFAIK it’s WebKit + custom work of UC on other platforms, and it’s a proxy-browser.
