DownThemAll: Latest News

I’d like to announce a prototype/experimental extension to DownThemAll! which I call dTa! Background File Write¹.
Basically this extension aims to off-load all file writing to a background “thread”, so that the Firefox user interface stays more snappy, and to avoid certain undesired stuff.

For more information about the tech-reasoning and source code, please consult the github page.

The extensions is experimental and only works with DownThemAll! trunk and Firefox 4 (32bit) on Windows right now.

1. Install Firefox 4. This is recommended, anyway. :D
2. Install the DownThemAll! Nightly trunk
3. Install the extension
4. Tell me about your experiences

Cheers
Nils

¹ Yeah, call me the Leonard da Quirm of extension naming :p

As always the competition is hard, and as last year, personally I voted for Adblock Plus.
