Chrome gets “live patching”
[]
OSnews
We may all have a disdain for Chrome – OSNews users probably use Chrome a lot less than the average public – but that doesn’t mean the browser doesn’t sometimes do interesting things other browsers should copy.
As such, Google is working on something that seems quite obvious now that they’ve talking about it:Investing in “dynamic patching” that will eliminate the need for a full browser restart in most cases.
By leveraging Chrome’s multi-process architecture, dynamic patching sequentially replaces background child processes (like the Renderer and GPU) with updated binaries on the fly.
↫ Chrome Security TeamChrome was the first browser to use multiple processes, isolating tabs from one another so that if one website or tab went haywire, your other tabs would be unaffected.
Of course, you can’t postpone the inevitable forever, but this should provide real-world benefits to users.
