And for the sake of completeness, Chrome 32-bit also loaded this interesting page without complaining. It is interesting to note that IE9 Preview 32-bit had no problems with loading the page. But since there was no difference between IE8 32-bit and IE8 64-bit, I have doubts that there is a real difference between those two browsers when it comes to reliability. So, in a way, IE was indeed unable to handle the page. However, after the download of the second page was finished, the page was empty and all the nice email icons disappeared. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to verify this claim. The second page is even better because it loads a few more images.Īccording to Rich, the second page will crash IE8 32-bit but IE8 64-bit will have no problems with it. The first page loads a couple of images, which keeps your browser busy for a while. To prove this claim, he linked to two nice examples. His main point is that a 64-bit application is more reliable in handling large amounts of data. Rich Menga discussed a similar question recently. So often when a browser crashes it is because not enough resources are available and/or because it can't handle the complexity. A topic that is related to reliability is performance (which I will discuss in more detail in my next post) because performance differences are usually only measurable with complex web pages and web apps.
